Linda Louise Cesena-Smith was born October 2, 1948 in Newhall, California and passed away April 26, 2024 in Hemet, California after a brief illness. She resided in the Santa Clarita Valley for 71 years.
Linda graduated from Wm. S. Hart High School in 1966. She married Karl Smith in 1967; a marriage that endured for 47 years. She is preceded in death by her parents George and Lillian Cesena, her only son Michael Shane Smith and only daughter Shannon Rena Smith.
Linda is survived by her sisters Georgia Cesena of Pismo Beach, CA and Marcy Cesena-Lamb (husband Don Lamb) of Chico, her brothers Michael Cesena (wife Anna Cesena) of White Hills, Arizona and Richard Cesena (wife Michelle Cesena) of Santa Clarita, C, grandson Tyler Smith-Carpenter, granddaughter Sabrina and twin great-grandsons.
Linda loved gardening and singing; her voice was lovely. She was seldom on time, so when her family was gathered for holidays she was given an arrival time one hour before everyone else.
Though she will be missed, those who loved her are comforted knowing she is resting in peace.
