Linda Forseth Obituary
August 1, 1944 ~ July 16, 2018
Linda was a longtime resident of Lake Forest Park and an active member in the local community. Surrounded by family, she passed peacefully after a long and courageous battle with cancer.
Born in Calgary, Alberta Canada she spent the formable years of her life in the Seattle area, attending Annie Wright Seminary where her love of reading and language fostered a life of adventure and connection to people. She found inspiration and purpose through faith, family, friends and fun. A devoted and active member of Prince of Peace Lutheran Church in Shoreline, she made lifelong friendships with her outgoing personality.
Linda was happiest when with her best friend and husband, Paul, and the family she cherished so dearly. Survived by her husband Paul, sons Chris (DayLene), Collin, Derek (Danelle) and seven grandchildren Madalyn, Drake, Ellie, Sawyer, Maclain, Kendall and Henry.
A successful and longtime Windermere agent, she was always there when someone needed help. Whether running the concessions at Hamlin field to benefit UNIVAC youth sports, suiting up for the women's tackle football team fund raiser or cheering for her grandkids from the sideline, a passion for providing support was always a priority. She enjoyed travel, being close to the ocean, and particularly long afternoons and sunsets with Paul in their beloved Hawaii.
Linda will be deeply missed with a celebration of her life for family and friends held at Prince of Peace (14514 20th Ave. NE, Shoreline, WA) on August 25th at 11:00am.

A caring and loving woman who loved to entertain...she was not just a great cook, but was the life of the party! All the other angels will have to raise their game. She fought the good fight. Rest In Peace dear lady.

One of the first persons to welcome me at Prince of Peace was Linda. I didn't know Beryl was part of her name until now. A precious gem, that's very apt. Beautiful and precious (especially of spirit) her name fits her well.

Linda and I shared being Annie Wright Girls, Nextdoor neighbors with sons, chemo buddies, and Facebook friends. I loved her sense of humor and her generosity sharing her journey so openly. I hope her wisdom adorns is all that knew her. My deepest condolences to you all. Marty
