Linda Rae Hagen, 75, of Las Vegas, NV, passed away on December 30, 2025 surrounded by loved ones.

Born on November 27, 1950 in Minnesota, to Clarence and Elizabeth Hagen. She grew up in Bemidji, MN, later building a life raising her children in Anchorage, AK and finally retiring in Las Vegas, NV.

Linda’s bright spirit and quick wit brought laughter everywhere she went. Her sense of humor was a gift she shared freely, lightening our lives and reminding us to find joy wherever we could. Though Parkinson’s challenged her, it never dimmed her warmth or her courage.

She is survived by her soulmate Steven Smith, her daughter Heather Ford (Jay), brothers, sisters, nieces, nephews, extended family and friends. Her legacy continues through her grandchildren, Mason Gunagan and Harper Gunagan. She is preceded in death by her parents, Clarence and Elizabeth Hagen, sister, Renae Steinbacher, son, Justin Winker, nephew, Ryan Leister and niece,  Nicole Hagen.

We will gather for a Celebration of Life in June in Minnesota. Additional information will be provided as plans are finalized.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Parkinson’s Foundation at www.parkinson.org.

Her love, wisdom, and spirit will remain with us always.
