Linda Deen went home to be with the Lord peacefully, surrounded by her loving husband and children on August 28, 2017.
   She was born September 23, 1947 to Leslie and Molly Richards in Maude, Oklahoma where she spent much of her childhood.  She enjoyed the outdoors mainly riding horses on into her adulthood.
   Linda’s first passion was studying her bible, which helped her tremendously in raising her six children.  She was a fantastic homemaker, cook, and going to school activities to watch her children excel in sports.
   The last fourteen years of her life was spent in Manteca, California with her loving husband Jesse Deen. They enjoyed praying and fellowshiping with each other, trips to the coast and Yosemite we really enjoyed fishing together.
   She leaves behind her husband, Jesse Deen, her six children, David (Senaida) Webb, Daniel (Kelly) Webb, Lorri Doneyson (Terry Lambert), Linda “Pewee” Wright (Ray Conner) and Dale Jr. “Tyke” (Dawn) Clift.  She also leaves behind 21 grandchildren and 16 great grandchildren.  All that knew her will remember her as a very strong, spiritual person.
   A private memorial service was held at Freedom Christian Center in Manteca, with Pastor Doug and Stephanie Wheeler officiating.
