Linda Ann Ballez

It is with great sadness that the family of Linda Ann Ballez age 70, born on June 12th, 1954, announces her passing. Linda will be sadly missed and forever remembered by her family and friends.

Her daughters, Tina (Sal) Gonzales, Angie Morales, Monica (Jorge) Gonzalez, and Theresa Morales.

Along with numerous nephews, nieces, cousins, and friends.

Linda was preceded in death by: Abel Ballez, Nicholas Gonzalez, Bob Morales, Oscar Correa, Maria (Cha-Cha) Equia, and John Jimenez.

Linda was a very kind and generous woman who loved to laugh. She was the kind of person who loved unconditionally no matter who you were and always found a little bit of goodness in everyone. She enjoyed traveling, celebrating birthdays, Halloween, Christmas, and making memories with her family. In September 2024, Linda had the opportunity to travel back home to Adrian, Michigan for her 50th class reunion and talked for days about how much fun she had reuniting with old friends.

Linda also enjoyed playing competitive bingo and Loteria with her grandkids. She also enjoyed joking around and putting big smiles on all of her grandkids faces. Linda enjoyed listening to Tejano music, dancing, shopping, vacationing with her family, and of course making new friends. But most of all, she loved dancing to Mexican music. 

Linda will be truly missed.
