Linda M (Brown) Fagerquist

Sadly, our mother, Linda Marie Fagerquist, passed away unexpectedly on April 30, 2022, at the age of 75. She was a wonderful mother who was always there for us when we needed her. She was a strong woman who believed you should only do what you want to do and not worry about what others think.  Her philosophy to the very end was “Life is too short!”   So true.  She will live forever in our hearts.  Rest in peace, Mom.
