Linda Valentine Page

Linda Valentine Page, 81, passed away peacefully at her home on Thursday, March 26, 2026.

Born in Vallejo, California, Linda was raised in Stockton and later made her home in Texarkana, Texas. No matter where she lived, Linda had a way of making everyone around her feel welcome, seen, and loved.

Linda was a devoted Christian whose faith was the foundation of her life. She lived her beliefs daily through her kindness, generosity, encouragement, and unwavering love for others. Her faith was not only something she spoke about, but something she lived beautifully.

She was preceded in death by her mother, Dorothy Burrows; her father, Walter Puisis; and her brother, Dan Puisis.

Linda is survived by her beloved daughter, Toni Garavaglia of Los Angeles, California.

Linda was full of life, laughter, and joy. She loved deeply, cared generously, and never met a stranger. She had a gift for making others feel at home, and her warmth and fun-loving spirit left a lasting mark on everyone who knew her.

One of Linda's greatest joys was being a Master Gardener. She poured her heart into creating beautiful flower beds that reflected the beauty, care, and life she carried within herself. Her garden was more than flowers; it was a reflection of who she was: vibrant and colorful.

Though our hearts are broken, we are grateful for the gift of having known and loved Linda. Her faith, her laughter, her beautiful spirit, and the love she gave so freely will never be forgotten.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you do something a little more unconventional and a lot more meaningful in Linda's honor: find someone today and give them a compliment. Linda had a gift for seeing the very best in people. She made others feel noticed, valued, and loved, often with just a few kind words. In remembering her, may we strive to do the same and share a little of the light she so freely gave to others.

"Well done, good and faithful servant." Matthew 25:23
