April 3, 1958 - June 30, 2022

Linda Wahlstrom, age 64, a lifelong resident of Spooner, died on Thursday, June 30, 2022, at the Solvay Hospice House in Duluth.

Linda was born on April 3, 1958, in Eau Claire, Wisconsin to parents Henry and Ella (Freitag) Gabrielson.

The family moved to Spooner when Linda was 5 months old, where she attended the Spooner Schools and graduated the Class of 1976. At the age of 16, she started working at the Spooner Hospital and Nursing Home, working most of those years as a Dietary Aid, which would span for 46 years.

Linda was a lifelong member of Trinity Lutheran Church where she was baptized on June 6,1966, confirmed on May 20,1973, married on June 25, 1983 although later divorced, and the place of her funeral on July 8, 2022.  
Linda loved to cook and had a tradition of having her son Trent and Heidi and the grandkids over for supper every Tuesday night.

She was the Farkle Queen Supreme. She loved playing Farkle, Banana-grams, Sequence and Labyrinth. She enjoyed reading, crocheting and knitting.

Linda fought a courageous 2-year battle against ovarian cancer, spending the last eight weeks in St. Mary’s Hospital and Solvay Hospice House in Duluth and never complained.

We want to give a very special Thank You to the Yeazle family for ALL they have done for Linda.
