Barbara Linzie Obituary
More than anything, Barb cared deeply for her friends and family and enjoyed traveling, dining out, and attending Elvis tributes with close friends. Although diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease in her early 70s, she vowed that she would never give up. Her resilience and courageousness has been such an inspiration to her loved ones. She will always be remembered for her beauty, generosity, fun-loving nature, and kindheartedness.
Barb is survived by her children, Rick (Deonne) Linzie, Kelley Linzie, Mary Linzie; siblings, Terry (Judy) Horton, Marcia (Jeff) Gibson; grandchildren, Hilary Linzie, Hunter Linzie, Haven Linzie, Jack Perry, and Meg Perry. Also surviving are many close friends, nieces, and nephews. She was preceded in death by her husband, Richard Linzie, and her parents, Walter and Helen Horton.

So sorry for the loss of your Mother. It has been decades ago we had contact, but I remember her as a energetic, always fun, and upbeat Aunt. I was always amazed at the way she brought about Sunshine to others, in her normal Day. She was a person I modeled, myself after. Rick, Kelly and little Mary Ellen, so Happy, she was deeply Loved. My prayers for Peace in your hearts.
