Linda Stelte, born November 15, 1946, to Harry and Pearl Barrowman, passed away peacefully, surrounded by her family. She was preceded in death by her parents and by her sister and brother-in-law, Mary and Larry Boblitt.
Linda is survived by her husband of nearly sixty years, Frank “Tom” Stelte, whom she married on October 15, 1966. She is lovingly remembered by her children, Jeffrey (Sarah) Stelte and Michelle (Hallie Leitch) Stelte; her grandchildren, Frances and Jessie Stelte; her sister, Peggy (Bob) Stelte; and her many nieces and nephews, all of whom she cherished deeply.
Linda was known for her warm heart, feisty spirit, and unwavering devotion to her family. Some of her happiest moments were spent gathered around the dining room table with a cup of coffee or hot tea and a sweet dessert, sharing stories, laughter, and love, especially with her sisters.
She will be remembered for her honesty, her humor, her unmistakable spark, and the love she shared so freely with everyone around her.
