On January 27, 1980, Linda married Randy Stevenson at the Wee Kirk of the Heather in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Linda enjoyed fishing on Pikes Peak and squealed with joy each time she landed a rainbow trout. She also enjoyed her flower garden each summer and in recent years shared the planting with great-granddaughter Sage Rayan.
Linda is survived by her loving husband, Randy Stevenson; their daughter, Tonja Rayan; her sister, Gloria Pittman of Lone Tree, Colorado; her brother, Stephen Whoolery (Marilyn) of Austin, Texas; her grandchildren, Jessica Hope Rayan and Randy Cole Ramirez; her great-grandchildren, Sage Lexa Rayan and Declan Walker Ramirez; and many nieces and nephews.

Linda’s wish is that there be no service, rather she wishes everyone to remember her in life as they knew her.
