My Mother


Many of you know that my mother passed away suddenly last week. Through much prayer I have found comfort to know that my mother's sprit lives on and that because of the atonement of Jesus Christ we will one day be reunited. Thanks to everyone who has reached out to me and my family during this time, it has been a great help and blessing.

Linda was born in Rock Island, Illinois and was the second of 14 children. She studied education to be an elementary school teacher. On June 3, 1969 she married Robert Wayne Murdock in the Idaho Falls LDS Temple. She was a wonderful mother of nine children and a grandmother of 18. She loved to play the game Yahtzee and laughing with her family. Linda was always very active and involved in church service throughout her life and shared many of her talents with others; recently serving as a Service Missionary in Cle Elum, WA. She kept her craft room well stocked and her dinner rolls were always delicious.

I could not have asked for a better mother.
