Our deeply loved mother, nana, and sister passed from this life peacefully on November 27, 2020 with her children by her side. She was born July 9, 1945 in Salt Lake City to Owen and Betty Weeks, raised by her loving grandparents Sarah and John Kilpatrick.
She attended West High School. On March 4, 1966 she married the love of her life, Ron Bland. Together they had 5 children, 9 grandkids to whom she devoted her life to. Her greatest joy in life was to have her family together for weekly dinners and family celebrations. She enjoyed bowling, camping, going to movies and following the Washington Redskins.

Dear Cheryl & Family... I am so so sorry about Linda. I am going to miss her so much! She was one that I would always look forward to coming in for her appointments.. Everyone needs a "Linda" in their life. We will miss her and we love her . Please let us know if you need anything .
I am so sorry for your loss. She was loved and admired by everyone that knew her. Heaven gained an angel. She will be missed.
Sorry to hear about your loss. Loss of a loved one and friend is such a hard thing. We are so grateful for our friendship with Linda. She had a great impact on both of our lives. Sorry we are not able to come and support each of you but please know our hearts are hurting. She will be missed by all in the Kearns 8th Ward.
In the many times that I visited with her she has taught me how to be more Christlike. I know life was been hard for her. She would always let me know the things that were happening to her but she always had such a positive outlook and would always say just one more thing. I will miss visits and conversations with her. I know that she is now living without pain and is also reunited with those she loves.
May each of you receive the comfort and peace you need as you deal with this great loss. May the Lord bless each of you.
