Linda's obituary

Linda Jane Barisoff died at the age of 77 on Aug. 16. She was born on June 1, 1943, to Harold and Ann Riches in Millen, Georgia.

Linda attended Washington High School in Los Angeles, California. She married Robert Barisoff on Aug. 1 in 1981. She lived in Seal Beach for 38 years before moving to Leisure World in 2005. There she participated in civic life and was also involved in the Bunko Cart Club and RV Club.

Being an only child, Linda always wanted a big family, so she surrounded herself with many children – five of her eight children were adopted – and people she loved. Linda was a devoted wife and mother and was a grocery checker for eight years. She was a fighter and overcame many years of health issues, including surviving cancer three different times.
Linda was a lifelong Christian and loved the Lord. Now is her time to be at peace and be in the company of Jesus and her heavenly family. Her wonderful stories will be missed, but her family takes comfort in knowing she is at peace now and is going to be full of new stories when we see her again.

Linda is survived by her husband, Robert Barisoff; her children, Terri, Gary, Dennis, Adam, Robert, Billy, Jessica and Jennifer; 17 grandchildren, six great grandchildren, and two lifelong friends, Judy and Karen; along with many more friends she considered family.
