Linda Rae Barnum – January 20, 2017

Linda Rae Barnum

Linda was born in Susanville on May 3, 1950.  She passed away peacefully on January 20, 2017 at the age of 66.  She attended local elementary schools graduating from Lassen High School with the Class of 1968.  She married her high school sweetheart Doug Hibbard in 1969 and welcomed their only child, Sasha.  They remained lifelong friends until Doug’s untimely passing at the age of 49.

Linda had an intense love of the ocean and relocated to the Bay Area for several years prior to returning to Susanville and working at the Lassen County Times.  She then worked at High Desert State Prison in the Accounting Department until her retirement.

Linda loved the spring time when she could plant flowers and place all her precious lawn decorations which included her Fairy Garden Décor.  Her neighbor, Carol, was always willing to participate in helping out.  She also appreciated her other neighbor, Tom, who would help carry in groceries and other heavy items.  She always wanted to repay his generosity with home baked goods, such as soup and biscuits.

Linda was a loving mother and grandmother.  She loved to watch her grandson’s baseball games.  She loved her brother, Keith and sister-in-law Sharon who helped out with all the day to day tasks, such as doctor’s appointments, groceries and pet care which included feeding and unconditional love.

She is survived by her daughter Sasha and son-in-law Ed Campbell, grandson Chase Campbell, step-grandson Trevor Campbell, brother Keith and sister-in-law Sharon Barnum, as well as numerous aunts, uncles and cousins.

She is preceded in death by her parents Henry (Hank) & Bertie Barnum and her true companion Doug Hibbard.

She also leaves behind her beloved Chihuahua, Taz and her three cats, Savannah, Paxton & Sugar Bear.

Considering Linda’s intense love of animals the family is asking for donations be made to the Humane Society or the local animal shelter.

Memorial Services will be held in the spring to honor her love of the season.
