Known for her loving kindness and smile, Linda Grace Gardner, age 60, met Jesus in person on the morning of Monday, July 9th, 2018 in the comfort of her home after a long battle with cancer. She was born on January 9th, 1958, in Nelson, NE to Winston (Stormy) Flower & Sarah (Schott) Harvey. She graduated Union High School in 1976 after being crowned homecoming queen in her junior year.
Linda had many accomplishments that included leading bible studies, leading monthly student Christian lunches, valentine queen of her local sorority, xi beta iota, board member for her church and exemplary servant of Christ and cherished friend to those around her. She touched so many lives with her love and made the world a better place. It brought her joy to garden, which she was known for her salsa. Linda's family and especially her grandchildren were her pride and joy.
Before retirement Linda worked several years for Muscanell Millworks as an administrative assistant in Cortez, CO.
Preceding her in death were her father Winston Flower, brother David Flower. She is survived by her mother, Sarah Harvey; her husband Robert; her children Jeremy (Rebecca), Candace (Robin) and Sammi; her grandchildren William, Caleb, Zoey, Nevaeh, Aaryanna, Miles, Ethan and Collin; and many friends she made through her life's journey.
Family and friends, who want to celebrate Linda's life, join us at CORTEZ FAMILY WORSHIP CENTER, 500 N Washington St., Cortez, CO 81321 from 11am on Saturday Aug 4th, 2018, followed by a lunch. There will not be a grave side service.

Where do I begin? I know it's been many years since we spoke but I will never forget when sammy and I were young how you always made sure we had our lunch after hanging out in the back yard on the 4 wheeler or in the pond. Or how we would climb up the walls and drive you just a little crazy. No matter the day or adventure we would get into you were that amazing mom to ensure your love was always over us. You were an amazing woman of God and as you are now at peace with him in heaven please know I will always be thankful to have had you apart of my life and blessed for the way you were there for my family.

Linda had the most beautiful smile and was always quick to laugh. She loved her Lord and her family and sent up many a prayer on their behalf. She's finally in His presence; smiling and laughing and dancing.
