She was born Sept. 26, 1957, in St. Petersburg, Florida, to James and Caroline Mitchell. At an early age her family moved to Kalispell.

She attended school in Kalispell and graduated from Flathead High School in 1975. After attending Montana State and University of Montana she moved to Seattle where she pursued a career in finance.

They spent their winters in Tucson, Arizona, where they were presently living.

At the age of 4 she began her lifelong love of horses. In 1973 she won open jumping first places at the Kalispell Junior Show, Glacier International Horse Show, and the Helena Open Jumping Show. She was recently competing in Canada and California.

Winters were spent skiing with her family on Big Mountain. She was an expert slalom and downhill racer, winning the Hellgate Cup in Missoula and attending three Junior Nationals with the Big Mountain ski team.

Linn enjoyed many hikes in Glacier Park and taking long horseback rides with her family. Her talents were many, with art, music, and her great love and care for animals to name a few.

She is survived by her loving husband, Jonathon, and his children and extended family. She is also survived by her mother, Caroline, sister Kimberly, brother Charlie and his wife Cathy in Kalispell, their sons James and Charles, her aunt and namesake and several cousins.
