Linda Ann Vetter

She was a housewife and mother of two whose love for animals was legendary. She enjoyed crocheting afghans, knitting baby clothes and blankets as well as greeting card designs which were all generously distributed to family, friends, and any in need of a little hand-made love. Fishing, boating, and camping with her family were all part of her joy, as well. She was mentor and confidant to many younger girls and women who will remember her friendship and guidance with love and gratitude, softening the turbulence of youth with a gentle touch and an open ear. Her Christian faith and prayers reeled in many a Prodigal over the years, I, her son, more than any, am a living testament, ever thankful for her faithfulness to our Savior.

Her great passion from early childhood, was four-legged beasts of every design, stripe and persuasion. Hundreds of creatures, great and small, were loved, cared for and spoiled under Linda’s wing, but her heart truly belonged to horses. She was in equine bliss whenever she could stick a boot toe in the stirrup and ride. None more blissful than spending long hours with her best pal, quarter horse Rocky.

Linda is survived by her devoted husband of 67 years, Gordon L. Vetter; son Steven Vetter of Chalfont, PA, his wife Robbie; her daughter, Carol Garcia of Fruita; granddaughters, Sara Silverman of Woodcliff Lake, NJ and Emily Vetter of Fruita; along with three great-grandchildren, Theo, Audrey and Malcolm.

Funeral services will be held at 11:00 a.m., Wednesday, February 19, at Callahan-Edfast Mortuary. Family visitation and viewing will be offered Tuesday, February 18 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the Mortuary.
