Linda Lee Charpied passed away September 30,
2013, at Kootenai Medical Center in Coeur
d'Alene. She leaves a community of friends to
mourn her loss.
Linda was born April 30, 1942, in Ventura,
California, to James and Maria (Moore) Lane. Her
parents gave her a rich childhood full of
Italian culture, amazing learning opportunities,
and a strong love for our country.
Linda's work ethic brought her to many diverse
fields. She was an actress, registered nurse,
medical office nurse, carpenter extraordinaire,
log home builder, and auto mechanic. She loved
to be involved in building projects. She'd bring
the tools and expertise to the job.
Yet, she was a vibrant, beautiful woman who
enjoyed her femininity.
Linda, and her beloved husband , Michael, came
up to Boundary County from Ojai, California, 21
years ago to build a new life. They remodeled a
home in the Boulder Creek area. She was so
pleased to do the masonry work in her new home.
Michael was a mechanic and Linda worked at the
Boundary Community Hospital. They had a good,
rich life and loved this area and the people in
it. Michael passed away in 2007.
Her love of the Lord brought Linda to the First
Baptist Church in Bonners Ferry, where she was a
true sister in the faith. Linda's kind
outspokenness and practical thoughts were a
welcome haven. She was a patient listener, yet a
clear speaking friend too. Her sense of humor
was infectious.
We'll miss Linda's strong sense of patriotism
and her ire when people disrespected her
country.
Linda loved her various dogs. Her "boys" became
the joy of her home-life, constant companions,
and an unending source of amusement.
We were blessed to have known Linda and know
that she has her wish fulfilled to be reunited
with Michael and the Lord.
She is survived by her dear friends in Boundary
County, and family in California and Montana.
Pastor Richard Dugger will officiate at memorial
services on at 2 p.m. Sunday, November 17, at
the First Baptist Church on El Paso Street in
Bonners Ferry. |
