She married Virg Frey and they were together 25 years and built a life together in Grand Junction, Colorado. They had 2 daughters , Connie Jo and Jonna Lyn Frey. Linda loved to watch her girls play softball and has many adventures and fun following their teams. She married John Blunk and enjoyed being a ranchers wife for 10 years. Linda was an accomplished business woman and owned her own mortgage broker firm before her retirement. Her greatest accomplishment was raising 2 amazing daughters and watching them raise their own children. She was so proud of them!
Linda loved spending time with family, watching the Rockies , holding her puppy and occasional trips with her sister to a casino.
Linda was truly loved and will be eternally missed by her daughters Connie Piccoli and Don, Jonna Crespin and Chris. Grandchildren Ryan and Rachal Piccoli, Levi and Amanda Crespin and 6 Great-great grandsons. She also leaves Brother, Dick Sass and Sarah, Sister Pam Rosenbach and Ron and her rescue dog "Mona" man she loved that dog!

I have many memories of Linda. We were townies in Arlington and classmates for 12 years. Bowling at Mel and Dotties bowling alley, slumber parties and all the school activities. A lot of time together. Condolences to her family. I know she will be missed.

I am so sorry to hear that LInda has passed. My company worked with her Mortgage company for many years and always appreciated her friendliness, competence and thoroughness. She had a knack for explaining complicated concepts to her customers in a down to earth way they could understand. I also had the pleasure of serving on the Delta Chamber of Commerce Board with her. She was always a delight, and full of caring for everyone around here. I, and a multitude of others will miss her.
My condolences to all her family and friends.
