Linda Carol Rothrock, born on December 9, 1945, and passing on January 15, 2024, left a profound impact on her community. After a courageous battle with bone cancer, she is remembered for her contributions to the medical and insurance industries, as well as her work in event coordination and hospitality. Linda raised her child as a single parent and had a deep love for photography and genealogy, dedicating many years to researching her ancestry and preserving family history. Her work has been recognized through donations to the Kirkland Historical Society, reflecting her commitment to local heritage. In 2015, Linda retired to an independent living community, where she enjoyed a vibrant life among friends and nature.

Her dream of becoming a published author was realized with the 2021 release of her novel, 'Strangers to a Legacy,' which combines her passions for history and the seaside. In her last days, she was surrounded by loved ones, receiving compassionate care from EvergreenHealth. Those wishing to honor her legacy are encouraged to support the EvergreenHealth Foundation or purchase her book, with proceeds benefiting local library programs for seniors.
