Linda Jane Sharp, 67 of Redding, California, born March 16, 1947. Reunited with GOD and her family in heaven on October 4, 2014.

Daughter of Ralph and Jane Emmons. Loving wife to Paul Sharp of 49 years.

Linda touched so many peoples' lives with her kind heart and gentle touch. There wasn't a soul that she met who didn't adore her. Her optimism and spirit in life was unlike any other. Her laugh was contagious and could light up the room. She had a beautiful voice and loved to sing and play the guitar.

Linda took great pride in her lovely yard, always spending her spare time gardening. Most of all she enjoyed spending time with her family. During the summer she loved to travel up the Oregon coast with her husband, Paul, and you could always find her on the beach hunting agates with her best friend Jackie. Watching her grandchildren grow and play brought her such joy. During the holidays she loved to cook, sing, play games and be around loved ones.

Her passion to help others was reflected in her work as a Medical Assistant/Office Manager. After she retired Linda served the community by donating her time to the National Alliance on Mental Illness. For several years she was the NAMI treasurer for Shasta County.

She will be deeply missed by everyone who knew her; she will live on in each and every one of our hearts.
