Linda Harrington Tuifua, loving mother, grandmother, sister and daughter, passed away peacefully, surrounded by family on February 19, 2017.
Linda was born in Salt Lake City, UT, on December 11, 1949 to John Roy and Patricia Harrington. The family later moved to Denver, Colorado and lived there until Linda was 17, when the family then settled in Diamond Bar, California.

She then worked in the Young Mother's Program at Valley View High School. She retired from teaching in 2012.
In retirement Linda found joy spending time traveling with her sisters and family. She also devoted herself to being the best grandma she could be to her nine grandchildren. She continued to serve and be a faithful member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

I remember Ms. Tuifua teaching choir before school started at Westmont Elementary in 1986-88. She was a very happy person and a wonderful teacher. I recall a choir trip we took to Universal Studios, and her son and I were goofing around with the tricks in the magic shop there. She will be missed by the many people her life had touched.
