Linda Lee Delawder, age 58, of Forest Grove, OR died on March 17, 2006 at Camelot Care Center where she had resided for the past nine years.

She was born on May 16, 1947 to Donald and Jeanne O'Neal at Kadlec Medical Center in Richland. She graduated with the Class of 1965 from Richland's Columbia High School.

Linda lived in Kennewick with her husband, Bob "Joe" Delawder, who preceded her in death in October 2004. They raised their two children in Kennewick.

She enjoyed camping, holidays, reading, movies, loved to laugh, and she loved to be with family and friends.

Linda is survived by her daughter and son-in-law, Kandi and Brent VanLoo of Thousand Oaks, CA; her son and daughter-in-law, Scott and Tamara Delawder of Pasco; her grandchildren, whom she adored: Nichole, Katelyn, Conner, McKenzie and Dana; and her siblings: Donna O'Neal Farnworth ('66), Peggy O'Neal ('71), Daniel O'Neal ('73), Martin O'Neal ('75) and Sally O'Neal ('79).

Per her wishes there was a private family gathering and no formal services.

While she was with us she was a wonderful mother, a caring sister, a faithful daughter, a true friend and a loving wife. She will always be in our hearts, and we will miss her very much.

"We love you, Mom".
