Linda Enriquez Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Messinger Mortuaries-Payson Funeral Home on Nov. 20, 2025.

Publish in a newspaper

Linda Enriquez, 71, of Payson, Arizona, passed away on November 13, 2025. She was born on August 15, 1954, in Sidney, Nebraska, to Roy and Doris Dwinell.
Linda was a beloved member of the Payson community for decades. She spent 25 years serving customers with warmth and good humor at the Beeline Café, where she formed lifelong friendships. For the last five years, she worked at Walmart, continuing to brighten people's days with her kindness and welcoming smile.
Linda loved being outdoors, especially when she was fishing or spending time with family. Family meant everything to her, and some of her happiest moments were cookouts, fishing trips, and simple afternoons surrounded by the people she loved most. She enjoyed sharing stories, laughing with her kids and grand-kids, and creating memories that will be cherished for generations.
Linda is survived by her three children-Michael Dwinell, Monica Enriquez, and Daniel Conner; her grandchildren-Ashton, Melissa, Breana, Trent Jr., Felicity, and Adeline; and her great grand-children Blake and Zane: and sisters-Vicki Dwinell and Barbara Wilhite (Ken). She is also lovingly remembered by many nieces, a nephew, and countless friends.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Roy and Doris Dwinell, and her brother Claude Dwinell.
Linda will be remembered for her gentle heart, her sense of humor, her love for nature, and her deep devotion to her family.
Services will be December 13, 2025, 11AM at Messinger Payson Funeral Home, 901 S. Westerly Rd. Payson, AZ 85541, with a pot luck to follow. Please feel free to bring your favorite dish.
