In Memoriam: Linda Stover

Linda had an indomitable spirit and was a selfless, considerate and loving mother, grandmother, daughter, sister, aunt and friend. Her creativity evoked admiration from those who knew her and was such that, “There was nothing her hands could do that did not turn out perfect.” She was an adept seamstress and quilter, designed jewelry, restored antique furniture and crafted just about anything.

Linda’s other remarkable abilities included playing piano and guitar, cooking, baking, and gardening. Her adventurous nature led her to a variety of activities such as participating in annual reenactments of American historical periods, shooting black powder rifles, whitewater rafting and traveling. She enjoyed spending time with her pets, reading, watching old movies, listening to classical music, playing cards, and most notably, writing politicians to express her two cents worth.

As a painter, she received several awards for her oil paintings from the Santa Cruz Art League, California Open Studios Tour, Uintah County Fair Best in Show, Uintah County Arts Council Best in Show and other art events. Linda loved a good laugh, Victorian tea parties, and researching genealogy.

During her lifetime, Linda worked tirelessly to provide for her children and faced many of life’s challenges with perseverance and grace. She was an extraordinary woman, full of love and light, deeply steeped in her spirituality, and as on Earth, is now one of God’s angels in Heaven.
