Linda
Kathleen Shipman, age 75 of Albuquerque died on Saturday, January 25th, 2020 surrounded by her family. She was born to the late Alberta Lunn and Edwin Lunn in Oklahoma City, OK on October 14th, 1944. Her loving sister Suzanne Lunn of Centennial Colorado preceded her in death.

She was an educator for over thirty years focusing on serving children with special needs as a substitute teacher for Albuquerque Public Schools.
A loving mother, wife and grandmother, she cared for her family through multiple military deployments and relocations that come with being an officer's spouse. Her caring heart extended to many including her many pets that she adopted over the years.
Linda is survived by her husband of 53 years, Jerry, daughter Jody, son Galen, and beloved grandchildren.
