EDMONDS, Wash. – Linda Sue Darfler was born Feb. 23, 1956, in Dixon. She passed away peacefully Saturday, Oct. 13, 2012, at her home in Edmonds, surrounded by her immediate family. She was so strong, such a fighter, but had fought and eventually lost a year-and-a-half-long battle with heart disease. Linda was an amazing woman.

She is survived by her significant other of 34 years, David Gerhardt; her son, Kristopher (Shanon); daughter, Stacey (Gunnar); grandson, Matthew; and granddaughter, Aubrey. Also surviving are her four sisters, Cheryl, Connie, Terri and Toni; as well as many in-laws, nieces, nephew and friends.
