Linda Sue Ward passed away on May 22, 2021, surrounded by her family. She fought a long, hard battle of cancer. She was 71 years old. Linda was born March 24, 1950, in Monett, Missouri, to David and Enola Withnell.

Her family moved from Missouri to California, and then to Dayton, Oregon, where she attended school and graduated in 1968 from Dayton High School.
