Linda spent most of her life in Grand Junction where she attended Tope Elementary, Grand Junction High School, and obtained her Associates Degree. She was a Secretary for the Colorado Foundation for Medical Care, a bookkeeper, a family manager, a stay-at-home-mother, a homemaker, an end-of-life caretaker for her mother, her mother-in-law and father-in-law, and overall whatever role she needed to fill. 

Linda was a loving, amazing, dependable, caring, devoted, generous, compassionate, and empathetic woman, Mother, Nanna, Sister, Aunt, Daughter, Wife, Cousin, Niece, Mother-In-Law, and Friend with an incredible ability to build relationships with every person she met, and she loved her family most of all.

She loved her daughters, her siblings, her grandbabies, family gatherings, telling stories, great food, playing cards, laughing as often as she could, gardening, shopping, helping whoever she could, camping, fishing, driving, heirlooms, antiques, sneaking sweets to her grandkids, and the Denver Broncos.

She is preceded in death by both of her parents, Duane and Velma, the father of her children, Larry Doolittle (Marriage April 6, 1974-2014), and her Grandmother, Minnie (Nan), and her beloved Uncle Philip Ellgen.
