Linda Ann Dallas of Florence passed away Friday, August 16th, 2024, at her home after a long battle with cancer. She was born April 10th, 1948, in Newport News, Virginia, the daughter of James R. Davis and Helen L. Catlett.
Linda graduated from Warwick High School in 1966 and worked in the computer room at NASA in the late 60s. She moved to Montana in the early 70s, and it quickly became the home she loved the most. Linda went to MSU for a couple of years before meeting her husband, whom she married on December 6th, 1975. She had her only child the following year. Linda finished her Bachelor’s degree at Eastern Montana College in the mid-80s and devoted the rest of her time to raising her son and being a homemaker. Later she would go on to work in the dental profession as a neuromuscular technician and then in real estate.
Linda loved arts and crafts projects, decorating and gardening. She was an avid golfer and loved talking with friends and would do anything for them. Most of all, Linda loved animals and rescued as many as she could. She was a kind, caring, gentle, and sweet lady that also had a tough side. Linda loved Christmas and would spend months decorating her home and eight trees.
Linda is survived by her husband, William; son, Bill; future daughter-in-law, Camille; sister, Sandra; and brothers, Rudy and Donnie.
