Linda Paulsen, 61,, has passed away, leaving behind a family and community who loved her dearly.
These words are offered in her memory — small, but heartfelt.
Born in 1952, Linda began a life that would touch many along the way.
Linda spent her working life as ['seamstress and worked at various places including K-Products'] — and was, by all accounts, loved by those who knew her best.
Some carry the weight of duty quietly; Linda carried it well.
