Linda Lou Wallace, age 75, passed away on November 28, 2024, at Regions Hospital in St. Paul. Born on November 26, 1949, to parents Kenneth and Verna Mae Retherford, Linda grew up in Hudson and graduated from Hudson High School.

Linda married Raymond Wallace on May 26, 1973 and together made their home first in Burkhardt, then in Hudson, and finally in Roberts.
Linda had a zest for life that shone brightly in her favorite activities. Whether she was trying her luck at the casino, casting a line on the serene waters while fishing, or immersing herself in the pages of a good book, she found happiness in the simple pleasures of life.
Linda will remain in the hearts of her husband Raymond; children Kari (Michael Sapko) Wallace and Ryan Wallace; brother Randy (Becky) Retherford and many nieces and nephews.
She is preceded in death by her parents, Kenneth and Verna Mae.

A remarkable woman who worked for me at Woolford Engineering.
When I sold my part of the company she gave me a book full of compliments of it saying “You have what it takes”and I have kept it to this day.
I am so sorry for your loss and will be thinking of your family as you mourn.
