(mother) Church (last name). She was married to the love of her life, Richard Carl Gearhart for 42 years, who preceded her in death in October, 2016. We are certain Richard was waiting with open arms for her to join him in heaven.
For many years she was an administrative secretary for Safeway, Portland Division Corporate Office. She was also a secretary for the Steam Fitters Union.
Linda enjoyed fine living, restaurants and travel. She expressed her love by creating masterpieces in the kitchen. She was known to everyone for her cooking skills. Linda cared for Richard’s siblings in their later years; she managed both their personal and financial concerns.
Linda is survived by seven stepchildren: Sherrie (Bill), Steve (Patti), Tom (Loretta), John (Christy), Suzie (Wayne), Joe and David. Linda had 10 grandchildren and 15 great grandchildren.
Family will gather at Steve and Patti’s home in King City, February 9, 2019 to celebrate Linda’s life and share many fond memories.
