Linda Foutz Obituary

Our Mom, Linda Ann Foutz, 77, passed away peacefully, Tuesday, December 2, 2014 at her home in Oxford. A rosary will be held at St. Ignatius Catholic Church on Monday, December 8th at 6:00 p.m. and a Memorial Mass will be held Tuesday, December 9th at 10:00 A.M. also at St. Ignatius.

Linda was born May 11, 1937 in Toledo, OH, the daughter of Frederick and Anna Seidel. She graduated from Ohio State University and married Fritz Foutz in 1960. They moved to Durango in 1961.

She was full of grace, love, kindness and great faith. We are lucky to have had her as our Mom and will always be blessed with her memories. Her heart and her smile were big and she embraced people from all walks of life with sincerity and love. She took great joy in her family, grandchildren, Catholic faith and garden.

Thank you Mom – you are and will always be beautiful in our lives. We will miss your vibrant spirit every day. You are now our angel up above, in God's arms and reunited with Dad.

Linda is survived by her children: Matt, Mike, Mary, Chuck, and Teresa; numerous grandchildren, extended family and close friends.

In lieu of flowers, please contribute to the Hospice of Mercy, 1 Mercado Street, Suite 270, Durango, CO 81301 or St. Ignatius Catholic Church, P.O. Box 1350, Ignacio, CO 81137.
