Working with Linda was a privilege and an honor. She was a kinda and gentle friend. Hardly a day goes by that I do not recall her and her smile. She called me after I was no longer able to work in the Church Curriculum Department and brought me a special signed and framed print from Al Rounds. She is sweet and a choice daughter of God.

I worked with Linda providing image's and signatures for her and had a blast getting to know her .  She was a shining light of positive energy and good fun. Condolences to her family and thanks for sharing her with us . She will truly be missed .

I too got to know Linda through the ward and neighborhood.  We were visiting teaching companions for many years.  I always loved how positive she was in the face of her trials.  Also loved hearing about everything she had been involved with over the years. It became clear very quickly that she was a master of many pursuits.  Sweet lady who was a good friend to all.  Linda will be missed!

I worked with Linda in the Curriculum Department, Graphic Design section. She was always positive and upbeat, and accomplished a lot of work. My condolences to family and friends.

I worked closely with Linda the last few years of her Church employment and have been in touch with her ever since. She helped transition her work and responsibilities over to me. As soon as I found out about her passing, I sent the following email out to over 80 Church employees that I knew had known and worked with her:

___________________________________________________________________________
"Dear Design staff and friends,
This is to inform you of the sad news of the passing of our friend and associate, Linda Ferre.

Linda had battled cancer bravely and with faith and dignity for many years. After a successful career as a graphic designer for the Church, responsible for everything related to the Church’s logo and signage, she retired from Church employment to spend a little more time doing the things she loved to do—traveling and being outdoors with her beloved dog, Sophie. After a little while, Linda returned to us as service missionary, always willing to help in any way needed, as much as she could while still battling the cancer. She was a kind and patient mentor to many of us—especially me—with a keen sense of humor and an impressively sharp mind and amazing memory. She was an extremely talented and accomplished designer, with an eye for detail. Her work still remains the standard for style guides and technical drawings.

Linda was an inspiring example of positivity, faith, and persistence. She will be missed by many of us who called her a friend."

I will miss Linda a great deal. She has always been there to answer questions and help me with my work. She was a good friend and a wonderful person. She is finally free from the pains and trials of this life!

I worked with Linda for 20 + years. She was so meticulous and careful in her work because she knew who she worked for. Her love of family and God was ever present in everything she did.
We had so much fun working together on the Relief Society symbols. Her favorite was the Icelandic because of the large LF that stands for Relief Society in that language.
I miss her and know she's close by to all of you.
Sincerely,
Patric Gerber

Dear Randy and Denise,
We really enjoyed meeting and spending time with Linda. It was always nice to see her in Tahoe and exchange stories, camping suggestions, and hear tales of your youth.  We know she will be missed by all with whom she was connected. May her memory be a blessing.

Linda was my neighbor, my good friend and visiting teaching companion for several years. I loved her dearly.  She was gifted and talented and devoted to her big dog. She suffered much over the years but was always courageous and positive. She loved her family dearly. Well done Linda. So long until we meet again💞

Since I will not be able to attend in person, I wanted to send a note.  Linda and I both grew up on Joyce Drive.  I attended a funeral for a neighbor in recent years, and sat with her.  While visiting briefly before it began, I discovered she had been working through challenges of a serious health problem I to have been dealing with.  It was fun to learn from the obituary that she played the banjo. . .  We send our sincere sympathy  in your loss at this time.

Our hearts are broken upon hearing of Linda’s passing.  We loved and adored your amazing sister.  We were neighbors and ward friends with Linda, and loved her to bits.  My wonderful friendship with Linda began when we both got new puppies in the same month, and found out we had both named them, ‘Maggie.’  I also became her visiting teacher and we realized we were soulmates.  Our friendship went far beyond those initial visits as we talked dogs, Bear Lake, work, family and church.  I dearly love Linda.  She was a beautiful example of someone who truly loved life, nature, being active, our Father in Heaven, family and dogs….did I mention dogs!  I cherish the memories I have with her knowing she is happy with her dear parents, her dogs, and her healthy body.  May the Lord bless and comfort you as you mourn your dear sister.  Love, Roger and Heidi Jones

I’ve only know Linda a couple weeks and saw how hard she fought. I admire her strength. I’m grateful I got to know her here on earth. I loved spending time with her. Sending prayers and hugs to her amazingly supportive family, (Brothers and sister-in-laws and I’m sure many more that I didn’t meet) She had a great support system of people that loved her.
