Linda Gagon Tyler, BHS 1961

Linda Gagon Tyler, BHS 1961 Linda Tyler, 70, passed away peacefully at home Tuesday, April 1, 2014, surrounded by her loved ones. Linda was born in Buffalo, N.Y., Oct. 19, 1943, to Rosemary and Clyde Gagnon. As a child, she moved with her family to California, graduating from Burbank High School in 1961. Linda loved spending time at the lake, playing Scrabble and watching Dodgers baseball. She was an avid reader, and she owned her own insurance agency. Her greatest joys came from spending time with her husband and family and spoiling her grandchildren. 

Linda will be most remembered for her gift for loving others. Her spirit of unconditional love and acceptance was given freely to all who crossed her path, whether family, friend, or acquaintance. Her "come as you are" attitude made all who knew her feel as though they had a special place in Linda's heart reserved just for them, and she leaves a legacy of having touched the souls of nearly everyone she encountered.

Linda was preceded in death by her daughter, Tiffany, in 2009. She is survived by her devoted husband, Robert; their three sons, Rett, James and Ricky; three daughters-in-law; 10 grandchildren; three great-grandchildren; one sister; and two brothers; and countless others whose lives will be forever impacted by Linda's presence. Services will be at noon Friday, April 11, at Palm Mortuary, 7600 S. Eastern Ave.
