Linda Margaret Willson

Linda passed away peacefully at home under hospice care surrounded by some of her family and grandson. 

On December 5th she was admitted to the Emergency Room with very low Sodium level and feeling terrible. Then she went to the ICU and general ward at CRMC before we asked for her to come home where we could take care of her in the comfort of her own house. 

Her condition continued to deteriorate, and we decided on Monday 16th December to enroll her in hospice where they could provide comfortable care for her end of life. 

Linda's health had been on the decline for a while and recently had a vascular stent inserted into her leg, but the pain continued in her feet and legs. Walking became difficult and while shopping used the mobile carts. 

She leaves behind her brother, Marc, who is in Scotland and three sons, Ivan, Jayson and Jean-Paul and their families and husband Ivan. 

We are grateful that Linda is now out of pain and no longer suffering and she left us peacefully, after her final rest at home. 

Marc was able to visit Linda in July for three weeks. All of her sons and families were able to visit over the weekend and say their final farewell, hold her hands and tell her that they love her. 

Linda loved animals and she also leaves behind two beautiful Bengal cats, that she adored. If you want to give a donation to the Cheyenne Animal Shelter, she will smile from heaven about that. 

Linda loved to quilt and work with cloth and cut out patterns and sew her design back together. 

She learned how to ride a motorcycle and was an active member of the Wyoming Harley Owners and Riding Enthusiasts, although later she preferred to ride on the back of Ivan's, Ultra Classic and she gave up riding herself. She liked to go with on outdoor trips for hunting, fishing and camping. 

Linda was born in South Africa and moved with her family to Cheyenne in 1996. She worked as a para-legal for the State of Wyoming, Public Defender, and various attorneys in Cheyenne. 

Linda was married to Ivan for 40 years and had just celebrated their anniversary in September.
