Linda Jane Moser-Pauli, 75, of Eagle, Idaho passed away April 27, 2023.
Linda was born in El Paso, Texas on October 16, 1947, to parents Glenn Wellington Moser and Armida Cruz. Linda spent her entire childhood in El Paso, and graduated from Austin High School in 1966.
Throughout her life, Linda worked and lived the life of a proud American. Linda is the daughter of a WWII veteran. She was married 4 times, all to service veterans. She worked in civil service for the US Government for 35 years before retiring in 2009. During her career, she lived and worked in Camp Lejeune in North Carolina, Los Angeles CA, Augsburg Germany, and Fort Bliss in El Paso TX. Upon her retirement, she moved to San Antonio, TX.
During her working years, Linda liked to keep busy. She frequently had a second, or sometimes even a third job. She particularly enjoyed managing her real estate rental business and working as a Mary Kay beauty consultant.
Shortly after her retirement, Linda was diagnosed with early onset Dementia. This later progressed to Alzheimer’s Disease. Linda relocated from Texas to Idaho in 2017, in order to live near family who could help with her daily care. In March 2023, Linda was unexpectedly diagnosed with Glioblastoma, an aggressive form of brain cancer. She was enrolled into Hospice care, and ultimately it was this that took her from us just 5 weeks later.
Linda truly loved animals, and over the course of her life, she had dozens of dogs and cats as pets. Any stray in need always had a home with her, and she adopted many as well.
Linda will be lovingly remembered for her gentle spirit, her fun-loving nature, and her selfless willingness to help family, friends, and animals however she could. She is survived by her son, Brian W. Garcia; daughter-in-law Claudia Garcia, daughter Christine J. Corona; grandsons Michael R. Moser, Dylan S. Garcia, and Joshua E. Cruz-Garcia; granddaughter-in-law Kristen N. Garcia; and great granddaughter, Mya J. Garcia.
Linda is preceded in death by her father, Glenn W. Moser; and mother, Armida Moser (Cruz).
