Linda Joyce Buchta Grant died unexpectedly, peacefully, at her home in Carman, Manitoba on February 7, 2025.

Linda lived a life surrounded by family, including her son Lee and daughter Kristie; parents Lee and Anna Buchta; siblings Roger (SunCha), Larry (Shari), Marlys, Duane (Paulette), Nancy (Lloyd), many nieces and nephews and their children; and the kids she loved as her ‘shared’ grandchildren.

Born and raised near the small town of Nerstrand, Minnesota, Linda attended school in Kenyon, Minnesota and then at Bemidji State University, forming friendships that would last a lifetime. In Bemidji she married, and cherished her very happy early years of motherhood. She eventually settled with Lee and Kristie in Carman.

Linda enjoyed her job as an Educational Assistant at Carman Elementary School and developed close and lasting friendships there. Pets were a constant in her home: Kitty, SkippyJon Jones, Maggie Mae, Pepper Adventure, and Rocky - each one lavished with treats, toys, and endless affection.

Linda loved a good adventure and travels led her on many journeys, including three memorable Caribbean cruises. A proud moment was when she became a Canadian citizen in 2002.

Favourite things: pizza, Coca-Cola; thriller novels, rock n’ roll (especially Three Dog Night, The Guess Who and BTO); the colour blue - she would say ‘You can’t go wrong with blue’ (favourite thing to wear - blue jeans).

A quote by Kurt Vonnegut held special meaning: "Everything was beautiful and nothing hurt,". This wasn’t to be for Linda - she endured debilitating pain and health issues for many years and was shaken by various family trials. And yet Linda persevered with her special brand of love, comfort and care. She made sure family and friends knew they were special to her, that she was thinking of them.

It showed in countless ways: each year nieces, nephews, great-nieces and great-nephews would receive a specially picked birthday card with a crisp American two-dollar bill tucked inside. She sent loved ones letters covered in stickers, and packages containing pajamas, socks and other goodies. Her long, lively phone calls bubbled over with anecdotes (and there wasn’t much opportunity to get a word in). She had a way of making everyone wonder if they might just be her favourite friend, niece, nephew, brother, or sister.

But what was clear was that Linda’s true favourites, her treasures, her joy were her children Lee and Kristie. She loved them and was so proud of them.

A private ceremony will be held at the Vang Lutheran Church in Dennison, MN - her family's church since the 1880’s.
Special thanks to Ruth Cumberbatch for sharing her writing skills. Linda would be so proud that her “sweet girl” summed her life up so perfectly.

Linda Lee Ellingboe, 72, passed from this earth into the loving arms of her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ at Saint Anthony’s Hospital in Gig Harbor on Dec. 22.

A tribute to Linda’s life will be held at 2 p.m, Saturday, Jan. 14 at Grace Bible Church in Port Orchard, with a reception immediately following the service.

Linda was born in St. Louis to William and Edith Aston on March 21, 1944. She spent her early years living with her father in California before returning to Missouri as a teenager to live with her grandmother, “Nana.” When not with her grandmother, Linda spent a considerable amount of time being cared for and raised by her aunts and uncles when her father was away on travel.

At 16, Linda moved back to California. It was there that Linda met a handsome young man who became the love of her life, Thomas Ellingboe. Tom and Linda were married on April 6, 1963. After spending a couple of years of traveling around sunny California as newlyweds, Tom and Linda welcomed their first child, Martin. Then, after moving back to Tom’s home state of Washington, the young family welcomed two daughters to the family, Trina and Kristen.

Deeply devoted to being a mother, Linda chose to forgo her own professional aspirations and remain home to raise her children on a full-time basis. Linda loved and adored being a mom. She was full of laughter and silliness, loved all kinds of music and so very much loved listening to her husband play the guitar and sing.

Linda was a fantastic cook and an engaging conversationalist who enjoyed entertaining family and friends in her home. It was often said by her children that Linda “never knew a stranger.” She could often be found looking through pictures of family and friends for hours while engaged in her hobby of scrapbooking.

Everyone who knew Linda would agree that her greatest joy was being a grandmother. She was never hesitant to take an opportunity to watch or care for any of her beloved grandchildren at any given moment. In fact, it wasn’t uncommon to find Linda among a pile of children’s toys laughing and playing with any, or if she were to have her way, all of her grandkids at any given time.

Throughout her life, Linda was staunch in her unrelenting faith in God and his blessings, and she enjoyed serving as a deaconess and member of Grace Bible Church for many years.

After battling illness and health difficulties for several years, Linda passed away peacefully and comfortably while listening to recordings of her husband singing. She is now once again with Tom in the presence of the Lord, where the two of them, once again united, watch over their loved ones with smiles and protective guidance.

Linda is preceded in death by her grandmother, her father and mother, and her loving husband Tom. Linda is survived by her son Martin (Lisa), daughters Trina (Eric) and Kristen (Jim), grandchildren Tyler, Alex, Jamie, Alyssa and Austin, brothers Mike, Roger, Danny and Tom, and step-daughters Beth, Darla and their families.

Linda says, “There is a wealth of information that has been gathered about both Joshua and Lydia's (Odell) families. Joshua's father was Sampson Dunbar, and there is a Yahoo group devoted to researching him and his descendants. Sampson was born in 1721 in Massachussetts, was at least half African, along with Indian, served in the Revolutionary War, as did his son Joshua (and I think Noah may have, also). Lydia, also, had African blood, and there is a book, "The Hanging of Ephraim Wheeler" that contains much information on early Dunbars and Odells.”

Linda’s notes suggest that Clarence or Leroy had a son named Ronald C.

Clarence registered for the draft on September 12, 1918, in Sidney, Montana, as Clarence Tilden Forest. He was a farmer working on the family farm in Section 18-25-51 in Richland, Montana, which was owned by Thomas Forest. Clarence gave his permanent address as Poplar, Sheridan, Montana, and he listed his nearest relative as Tina Forest of that same address. Clarence was described as of medium height and build with blue eyes and dark brown hair.

In the 1930 census, Clarence is married but living apart from his wife of 5 years. He and his widower father are laborers on a ranch in Ada, Blaine County, Montana.

Gladys was his widow.
