Linda L. Wilson
Linda L. Wilson passed way September 20, 2009 at her home, with her family at her side. She was born of September 27, 1947 to Louis G. and Audrey J. (Thomas) Fisher at Havre, MT. She attended grade school in Kremlin and Garneil, MT. She graduated from Judith Gap High School were she was cheerleader and Queen of the Jr. Sr. Prom. She married her high school sweetheart November 4, 1964 at Harlowton and to them was born two sons.
Linda was an avid homemaker, loving to sew and work outside in her gardens and with her flowers. Her real joy was raising her two boys and playing baseball with them until she had to dodge their baseballs instead of catching them. She attended all their games and was their biggest fan. She later on decided to go to work outside the home; she worked for K-Mart in Missoula and Miles City for 14 years and Wal-Mart in Butte and Kalispell for 13 years. Linda was a dedicated hard worker and took pride in whatever she did, but her family was always first. Being with her grandchildren these final years and attending their activities gave her great joy. She lived in many towns traveling around with her husband always making friends wherever she went. After being diagnosed with cancer and receiving a bone marrow transplant form her brother in Seattle in 2006, she and her Lee moved to Polson to be with their grandchildren there and took several trips to Anchorage, AK to visit her son, his wife and children.
Her Parents Louis and Audrey Fisher preceded Linda in death.
Linda is survived by her loving husband and caretaker of 45 years, LeRoy, and sons Robert (Johnelle) of Anchorage, AK and Shawn (Pamela) of Polson and brother Warren (Lynn) of Pablo and her beloved granddaughter Makaliah and grandson Dylan and numerous nieces and nephews.

I was so very sorry to hear of Lindas passing. I worked with her at k-mart in Missoula for several years in the cash office and she was a wonderful person. She was so kind and we always had good talks and laughs. My thoughts and prayers go out to her family.
I am so sorry to learn of the passing of Linda. During the years that I worked with Linda in Missoula, I always felt that I was fortunate to have know a person of such integrity. She was always friendly to everyone and a person to be counted on. She will be truly missed. Thank you, Linda, for being a friend. For the family, my sincere prayers.
We send our prayers and good wishes to you all at this time, knowing that Linda fought a valiant battle.
God Bless you all!

My sincerest prayers and thoughts are with Linda’s family at this time. I was fortunate enough to get to work with Linda many years ago at the Missoula Kmart. She was truly a kind and caring individual. May you all find peace in the coming days and years.
Lee and Family,
Please accept my deepest condolences. It hurts.
Thanks so much for attending the reunion in Judith Gap, Lee. My memory of seeing you both together and smiling will be cherished.

I’ve only ever had one sister-in-law, and that was Linda, but I couldn’t imagine there has ever been one as kind, hospitable, cheerful and humble as Linda Lee Wilson. I always thought it was funny that Pat and Lee both married “Linda/Lynda Lees”. Truly the Wilson family will forever miss her being here on earth with us now, but have no doubt whatsoever as to what heaven has gained.
Linda was and always will be an inspiration in how to live a good life and value what is truly important and how valiantly to accept death with courage and dignity. We love you Linda, Lee, Sean & Bob!
