Linda Suzanne Heath was born on May 24, 1954, in Baltimore Maryland to Robert M. Schlott and Nancy A. Bowdre.  Linda went home to be with the lord on Saturday October 11, 2025, at her home in Fernwood, Idaho.

Linda leaves behind her husband of 17 years Dennis Simonson of Fernwood, Idaho; daughter Morgann Firestone (husband Mason) and granddaughters Carrie and Kensley all from Blountstown Florida.

She also leaves behind her brothers and sisters; Donna Beisner of Deer Lodge, Montana, Bruce Hartley of Germantown, Maryland, Fred Hartley of Smithburg, Maryland, Annie Darden of Seaford, Delaware. 

Linda was an avid horse lover and enjoyed her dogs.

She worked for many years at an insurance agency in Maryland. She had an unwavering love for animals and also worked as a vet technician.

We will all miss her happiness and dry sense of humor. One evening several of us sat down to play several hands of cards. It was a game she had never played, but she picked it up quickly. I do remember the laughter as she took us all to the cleaners.  Linda will be remembered for being a loving and kind friend to all.
