Linda Gayle Ann (Brown) Brannon Obituary (1942 - 2013)

Linda Gayle Ann Brannon (Brown) Nov. 30, 1942 - Feb. 27, 2013 Linda passed away peacefully surrounded by her children and grandchildren. She was born in East LA and resided most of her life in the greater Los Angeles area. There she met her first husband, William O. Purcell and they married in 1962. They had 4 children and were married for 22 years. During that time, she worked in various occupations, most notably in banking and accounting. It was a "Lucky" day when she met Cliff Brannon in the spice aisle and they married a year later, in 1989. They were sealed in the Bountiful Temple for time and all eternity after they moved to Utah in 1995. She was one of two children born to the late Gaile and Lorna Brown (Farlee). She was preceded in death by her loving husband, Cliff Brannon. She was more than a mother and grandmother to William (Jehan) Purcell, Leah (Leif) Wadman, Kathryn (Paul) Villarruel, Lorna Purcell (Thomas Mills), Kathleen Nieto, Karen (Lenny) Clemente, John (Vicki) Brannon; her 16 grandchildren and 7 great grandchildren. She is also survived by her brother, David Brown and her second mother, Lorraine Brown. Linda had a passion for social activities and made friends everywhere she went. She was a square dancer, crafter, recipe collector, and a member of Daughters of Utah Pioneers. She had collected items from her family's history and was actively pursuing her family's genealogy. When her children were told to come home, wherever you found Mom that was "home". Her greatest joy in life was her family and we are so much better because of it.
