Linda Tourdot Obituary
Linda Tourdot
May 30, 1957 - March 26, 2022
ARROYO GRANDE, CA - Linda Tourdot of Arroyo Grande, California, died March 26, 2022. She was 64 years old.
Born May 30, 1957 to Marilyn and Don Tourdot in Reedsburg, Wisconsin, Linda was proud to back the Beavers and found her Packer community wherever she lived.
The Reedsburg library was where Linda fell in love with books.
Linda became Lulu to her siblings as a nickname, but in the end, Lulu was on the lips of her many new friends. And what a good and loyal friend she was!
Lulu was the one animals came to first, so her gentle soul was recognized often during her visits to the dog park.
Lulu's home-going was sad but tender and just what she wanted, surrounded by family who loved her, laughing, talking, comforting.
She is survived by sisters: Kathy, Nancy and Sandi and brother, Paul. Also her loving stepmom, Fran; nieces: Dana and Taylor; nephews: Jackson, Austin and Justin; important in-laws: Stacey, Jeff and Eron round out the family Lulu cherished. Auntie Bev's love inspires us all.
To honor Lulu's memory, please support your local Animal Rescue organization.

Legacy sent an email so I stopped in here. If you did the same, hello and thank you. I still miss my sis of course and memories are become more fond and less searing. It´s miraculous how families are made, and how friendships begin and last. Like forever.
I´m lucky to have been a part of Lulu´s life. She taught me so much from the day she was born, until her last breath. I spoke to a friend, named Linda, whose big sister died yesterday. Owie. But I could sit with her in peace and understanding, one of the many lessons Lu gave me.
Julian Lennon has a beautiful song called Love Never Dies. That´s damn straight.
I´m sending love to whomever reads these words.

Dear Kathy & the Tourdot family:
It pleases my soul that it comforted you to see the photos of Linda that I previously sent. I am sending a few more - all were taken in 1989.
RIP Linda . . . you will never be forgotten.

Debbie, these photos of our Lulu are so beautiful! Your message means so much and especially pictures of her we have never seen before, such a sweet surprise. Lu always kept old friends in her heart. Thank you for your wonderful message and photos I will treasure. We miss her so much...this helps.

I was saddened to hear of Linda's passing and extend my deepest sympathies to the Tourdot family.
For several years, Linda & I worked together in the mid-1980's at LSS in Madison, quickly becoming best friends. We shared many laughs and supported each other in good & challenging times, during work and nonwork hours.
Linda was the maid of honor at my 1989 wedding - here are 2 photos from that event showing her dynamite smile.
We lost touch over the years, as our lives took different paths, but I will always think of Linda fondly.
Linda will be sorely missed by me and those lives she touched.
Your loving sister, Nan

Lu, you were so loved and we will miss you so much!! There is no way I can possibly capture a lifetime of meaningful memories so just wait for me, until the next time we meet. Until then, fly high and rest easy Lu. Thank you for your quiet strength and sweetness. I will love you forever.

Kathy & family I'm sending my heartfelt condolences for your loss. We had many great adventures while I lived in Madison. Judy Meyer, her & I would go on road trips, parties(Halloween often) & Badger games.
I saw her last in Reedsburg in April 2019 at my sister Judy's memorial service. Was so good to see her & glad she came. I will hold onto my memories from babysitting all of you till then.
God Bless,
Wanda Meyer-Brethorst
