Missouri. As a young
woman she moved to Oregon where she met and
married Robert Ray Linville.
They later moved to Idaho
and had resided in Caldwell for over 42 years.
Her greatest
happiness was being with her family.
She was truly a
devoted, loving wife and mother.
Her gentle kind ways
and enthusiasm over small things such as flowers, garden,
birds, animals and nature in general made her a joy to be
around. She was
loved by all who knew her and she will always be missed.
"She was such a good
loving mother, my best friend; oh, who was happier than I
when I could still say the dear name "mother" and it was
heard, and whom can I say it to now?"
She is survived
by her husband, Ray; two daughters, Mary Rose Hollie and
husband, Vann of Nampa, Colleen McCrea and husband, John of
Boise; four grandchildren, Michael Hollie and wife, Cindy
and great-grandsons, Matthew and David of Chattanooga, TN,
Gary Hollie and wife, Darcy and great-granddaughter, McCall
of Woodinville, WA, Tracy Mills and husband, Alan of
Beaverton, OR, and Amy McCrea of Boise.
Also a brother,
Everett Ellison and wife, Dorothy of Nampa; a sister, Ruby
Ross and husband, Floyd of Pamona, CA; and a sister-in-law,
Verna Ellison of Caldwell.
She was preceded
in death by her parents, a brother and sister.
The family
suggests memorials to Pet Haven or to the Idaho Humane
Society. Friends
may call today until 8 p.m. at the Flahiff Funeral Chapel,
Caldwell.
