Linda Louise Graef Salter

Its been over two years but I'm hoping this goes to family members. I'm 77 years old and periodically I seem to find myself "looking up people from my life", and Linda was one of them. Sad thing, each time I have done this the person has already passed away. I was Linda's secretary for about 7 years when she was a Dean at Grossmont College. Yes, she was one amazing woman. I am so glad to hear about her final days "being good ones". I lost my hubby from cancer also, June 10, 2020 and as...

Linda was my dearest and closest friend — my rock — for several tumultuous years in Berkeley and thereafter. Seeing and playing Hayden and Heidi when they were very young helped to keep we grounded and sane. Sadly we lost touch after she and Kit divorced and I moved to Hawaii. I only just learned of Linda’s death today when I read my most recent Oberlin alumni magazine. I am very sad, but I have many wonderful memories of her that I will continue to cherish.

I’m very sorry for your loss. I have a pastel portrait by Linda of a lovely red headed woman in a turquoise blouse that I would be happy to give to family. I obtained this in an auction.

It was so sad to learn of Linda's passing. I met Linda in 1987 while she was looking for a home in the San Mateo area. We found one on Alameda in Belmont that she absolutely fell in love with. It was quaint, charming, rustic and secluded and even though I found a larger home for her when her Mother came to stay with her, that home was always in her heart. It was my extreme pleasure to have met Linda and to assist her in her real estate needs.
When she retired and took up painting, I...

I first meet Linda in a hiring interview back in 1989. Six months later in a new position interview she hired me for the automotive department. I thank her very much for taking a chance in hiring a professor with only a subject matter teaching credential and no college degree. She made my second career with that one choice. I still have a very fond memory of finding out that she shared a love of Thai food with me when her and Suzie Stevens took me to lunch shortly after being hired. I loved...

She hired me in 1997. She has always invited me to her studio and gallery exhibit. She was so fun and happy-go-lucky. I will have her in my heart all my life! My deepest condolences!

Linda lived her life fully, setting an example for others, influencing positively so many! As a friend and art associate she was such a wonderful role model, contributed so much to the Art Community in Pacifica and beyond, encouraging others to follow their passions which she did in such an impressive way. She will be missed by so many but she will continue to be an inspiration for me and well as others!

I was Linda's secretary from July 1982-July1986 when she was a Dean and Vice-President at Grossmont College. She was a warm and caring person whose concern that students get the best education was foremost. Linda's personality made her a favorite with the staff and her work ethic made her a favorit with college leadership. I cherish the memories of working with Linda and hope that the loving memories of her family bring them comfort.
