Celebration of Life | Linda Rouches

Excerpt taken from online obituary published in the Columbia Gorge News . . .

Linda’s interest in community, civil service and the city of Hood River is reflected to this day in the countless friends and associates she cultivated as she performed in her role as mayor of Hood River, as a sort of general ambassador, and as a shoulder-to-lean-on no matter the day or time.

Linda remains in the hearts and souls of her children, Julia, Amy and Tony, as well as her sweet grandchildren Liz, Athena, Dylan, Elizabeth, Courtney and Allie; her darling great-grandchildren Raven, Scarlett, Raiden, Ezra and Uri; and finally, her incredible dog, Lily. Thousands of hearts are full of emotion at this beautiful woman’s passing — friends, BFFs, neighbors, pastors, relatives, comrades.

We ask that you celebrate this incredible woman in a manner that pleases you. Memorial services are arranged as follows: June 21 at 10 a.m. at The Church of The Palms, 14808 N. Boswell Blvd., Sun City, Arizona; and for our Oregon friends and family Sept. 6 at 2 p.m. at Riverside Community Church, 317 State St., Hood River.
