Obituary for Linda C. Cherry
Cherry, Linda C., age 80 of Denver.
Linda Carol Cherry was born in Hollis Oklahoma on November 6, 1939 and passed away on February 24, 2020 in Denver Colorado. She was 80 years of age.
Linda spent her early years in Hollis and moved to Texas when she was about 7 years old. Linda graduated from Arlington Heights High School in Fort Worth Texas in 1957. She did not attend college. She married shortly after high school graduation and had 2 daughters. Linda worked at Frontier Airlines for 20 years mainly in the reservations department. She developed several health problems that made it impossible to continue working for Frontier and later started her own publishing company. She found great satisfaction in working with customers helping them to write their own family histories. Linda was a voracious reader and she loved to write. She also wrote a 300-page training manual for the Frontier reservations agents.
Linda had a kind heart and was always interested in helping those less fortunate than herself. She started a non profit called the Cherryblossom Foundation which was devoted to the betterment of mankind through the renewed concept of people helping people. It is unknown how many single mothers, homeless people, abused children and others she helped in her 80 years.
Linda leaves a legacy of love and service. She will be sorely missed.
Linda is preceded in death by her parents Mary and McCoy Cherry, 2 grandaughters, Emily Buckwalter and Arianna Daut. Linda is survived by her daughters Diana Buckwalter and Laura Taylor and brothers Tom Cherry and Bill Cherry. Linda has 13 grandchildren and numerous greatgrandchildren.
Celebration of Life services will be held March 14 in a private ceremony. She will be buried in the Cedar Hill Cemetery in Castle Rock Colorado.
