Linda Peterson Obituary

Visit the Mack Family Funeral Homes - Lamoureux-Smith & Poliks Chapel website to view the full obituary.

Surrounded by her family Linda peacefully was called home on August 4, 2025 at the age of 78. Linda was an avid crafter and enjoyed making plastic canvas, decorations, crocheting, and puzzle books. She loves seeing the joy and smiles on the faces of those she gave her trinkets to. She liked to travel and go on car trips. She also love to do scrapbooking and creative journaling, Dear diary…

Linda deeply loved her family and enjoyed having them around. She had lots of compassion and loved to care for her family, especially her grandchildren Amanda, Rebecca, Trisha, Alysha, Trevor, Austin and several great grandchildren.

She was a single mother of four children, three daughters and one son trying to find a way to make it in this world. Maybe the path in this life she chose was not the best but it got her children to where they are today. She did her very best to provide a stable loving home for her family, and for that we are very blessed, grateful and humble. She may not of had much to give but when we needed her she was always there no matter of the time or circumstance.
We hope you find comfort, happiness, and peace up above now that you have been reunited with your parents, Alvah and Louise as well as your sister Janice.

Mom, you have a new official job now and that is to be our angel to watch over us all and to give us strength and guidance to walk this world without you here by our sides. For you were and always will be the wind beneath our wings. We will love and miss you for all eternity. With loads of love from your children Ann, Michele, Scott and Nancy.
