Linda Betlan Obituary
May 1, 1941 - Dec. 27, 2013
Resident of Walnut Creek
Linda graduated from Castlemont High School and St. Mary's College. She was the Career Coordinator at Amador Valley and Dublin High Schools for 15 years. Linda raised three children and was a world traveler, voracious reader, and beautiful stained glass artist. She loved beautiful things, particularly clothes and jewelry - often being told she was the best dressed.
She is survived by her sister Sharon Cunningham, of Pleasanton, and her children: Greg Betlan, of Las Vegas, Sandra Betlan, of Aliso Viejo, and Lisa Gardelle, of Dublin.
Memorial services will be held on Saturday, January 11 at 1pm at the Gardens at Heather Farm in Walnut Creek. Flowers may be delivered that day between 11a-12:30p. For more information: [email protected]

Wanted to share my heartfelt condolences with Linda's family..she had been a client at Main Street Rags for many years,and it wasn't until I saw her obituary that I realized I had not seen her for some time. She was always so full of life and vibrant. Please know that she will be missed.

I was shocked this morning when I opened the paper and found Linda's Obituary! I worked with Linda at FHS many years ago. I just saw Linda at Chico's two weeks ago. She looked fine? So sad she's gone. I am so very sorry for your loss. She will be missed. Carol Johnson
