With profound sadness we announce Linda had finished her walk in life on October 19th, our loving wife, daughter, sister and friend to all whose lives she touched will be deeply missed.
Born in Scottsbluff 59 years ago to Don and Shirley Martin, the youngest of five, the apple of her Daddy’s eye.
Of all the people she touched her most proud achievement in life was marrying Stace Swartzkopf 39 Years ago, who supported her in all her glory, in her heyday and lovingly supported her during their last days together.
She had a rare combination of someone who had a love of life and a firm understanding of what was important – the simplicity of living a life with those you love.
Linda leaves behind her husband, brothers Dave (Jerlyn), Steve (Desira), Robert (Sue) Martin; remarkable in-laws Bob and Deanna Swartzkopf, Carree (Erick) Weitzel, Gladys Edgar, fur babies Snoopy and Charlie; ten nieces and nephews; best friends and supporters in life Lori, Bonnie, and Terri.
Greeting Linda in Heaven are her parents, sister Ruth Roth, grandparents, fur babies Jordan and Sam
