Linda Winn

Linda Kay Winn, 70, of Buhl, passed away Friday, January 18, 2013 at Huntsman Cancer Institute in Salt Lake City, Utah from cancer.
Linda was born May 12, 1942 to Charles "Elmer" and Velda Alexander in Buhl, Idaho. She married her High School sweetheart, Gary I. Winn. They were looking forward to celebrating their 53rd Wedding Anniversary on February 21st. Her first priorities were taking care of her family and her home. After her children, Chris and Julie, were older she worked for Northland Cold Storage alongside her friend Denny Stewart. Her love of reading then took her to the Buhl Public Library and then the Buhl Chamber of Commerce.
Linda's favorite memories included times spent in Featherville at their cabin. Snowmobiling up to the feeding grounds to feed the elk during the winter was an experience she looked forward to each season. Summers were filled with camping, fishing, mountain trips, and watching grandsons play baseball. Winters were reserved for quilting projects and reading. The greatest joy in her life, however, were her grandchildren. She was one proud grandma!
Surviving Linda is her husband, Gary; son, Chris; daughter, Julie Steele; grandchildren, Christopher (Kim) Winn, Adam Winn, Jenny (Ryan) Loos, Morgan Steele and Rachel Steele; great-grandchildren, Kylee, Kenndelyn, Dryssen, Eligh, Dylon, Kaeleb, Allonie, Adrianne, and Adam Jr.; sister Kathi Ring; brother, David Alexander; brother-In-Law, Nyle Winn and several nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by both parents; brother, Jerry; sister-in-law, Edna Alexander and grandson, Ryan Steele.
Granting her wishes we will be having a public graveside service at 3:00 pm, Friday, January 25, 2013 at West End Cemetery in Buhl.
We, her family, would like to say a special thanks to Dr. Will Lowrance and staff at Huntsman Cancer Institute in Salt Lake City, Utah for the outstanding care and compassion they have given.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in her memory to the First Christian Church at 1005 Poplar in Buhl.
