Linda Joan Quiring

Linda J. Quiring was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on April 20th, 1944. Linda was a long time resident of the Northwest, settling in Snohomish and making it her home.

She married David H. Quiring on September 3rd, 1975 and together they had four children, three grandchildren and seven great grandchildren.

Linda is survived by her daughter Kathy Reece (Jon), son John Quiring, daughter-in-law Cory Russell, granddaughters Kelsea Haab, Terrah Wilmovsky (Connor), and Heidi Russell (Matt), sister Patti Wilkinson (Lee), and brother Jay Kibby (Robin).

They were the objects of her generosity and affection. Linda was one to whom family was important and meant love and caring. She gloried in the warmth of her grandchildren and great grandchildren and made herself available to them whenever they needed help or friendship.

Linda J. Quiring will be leaving a life of love, joy, and generosity. She loved being with her family and gave happiness to those around her and to the world of nature. She had a deep care for horses, dogs, birds, and whatever other critter showed up at her door.

She was always out searching for the next best recipe and eager to have loved ones try out her fantastic creations. Along with her love of cooking, Linda also had an eye for design and home decor and could easily be compared to Martha Stewart, giving her a run for her money.

Her love for gardening and pets, for cooking and decorating, made her home a place of welcome and beauty. She was a homemaker in the most complete and delightful way. Linda’s family will find a large piece missing in their lives with her passing.

Preceding Linda in death were her parents Paul and Joan Kibby, daughter Lori, and son Jeff.

Linda’s celebration of life will be at Evergreen-Washelli Funeral Home in Seattle on August 9th, at 11:00 am with a reception from 12:30-1:30 and David’s celebration of life will follow at 1:30.

While friends are welcome to bring flowers, Linda’s family would suggest supporting a local animal shelter in honor of her love for animals of all kinds.
