Linda Von Olhausen Obituary

Mrs. Von Olhausen, 37, of Denver, NC died Sunday, July 16, 2006 at her home. In loving memory of a loving wife, daughter, sister, and friend. Never have we experienced a person that could love so deeply. Linda brought a smile and comfort to everyone she knew. We will miss her deeply, the world was a little brighter with her in it, and now is a little darker, we will miss you, we love you. A 1987 graduate of Cheraw High School (Cheraw, CO), Linda earned a degree in sociology with a business minor from the University of Colorado in Colorado Springs in 1992. She volunteered with Motor Racing Outreach and worked at Ernst & Young in Charlotte. Survivors include her husband, Adam; mother, Ethel Bowers; her sister, Ethel Anderson; cousins, Charles Bowers, John P. Bowers, Jerry Legate, Sherry Lewis, Edna Cordova, and Gus Shild; aunt and uncle, John and Louise Bowers and aunt Flossie Shild. She was preceded in death by father, Lewis Franklin Bowers. A service to celebrate her life will be held at Joe Gibbs Racing, 13415 Reese Blvd Huntersville on Wednesday July 19 at 1:00 p.m.. The family will receive friends there following the service. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Focus on the Family, Colorado Springs, CO 80995. Raymer Funeral Home, Huntersville, NC is serving the family.
