Survivors include her sons Jef Lindstrom and John Lindstrom and her daughter Ann Sullivan by her first marriage to John F Lindstrom. She is also survived by 8 grandchildren and 19 great grandchildren and many friends who loved her dearly.
Family and friends are invited to a "Celebration of Life" worship service at Bethany United Methodist Church in Purcellville VA, Saturday February 8 at 4 p.m. A dinner reception will be held afterwards in the fellowship hall.
