Linda McCutcheon's Obituary

Linda Sue McCutcheon, formerly of Bayfield, WI, went to be with the Lord on Thursday, December 02, 2010 at Saint Mary’s Hospital in Rochester, MN. She was 58. Linda was a resident of Siloam Springs, AR.

Linda was born to George and May Pinckney of Bayfield on January 27, 1953. She married Donald McCutcheon on December 5, 1970 in Bayfield at Faith Baptist Church. Their marriage was an example that their children strive to emulate.
They celebrated their 40^{th anniversary this year.}

Linda graduated from Bayfield High School in 1970, and the Wisconsin Indianhead Technical College—Ashland with an Associates Degree in Administrative Assistant in 1993. During her life she had many wonderful life experiences. She worked at M&I Bank of Ashland, Ashland Health and Rehab, the family business; McCutcheon Builders of Bayfield, and Arvest Bank of Siloam Springs,AR.

Linda immensely enjoyed quilting, family gatherings, celebrations, and church involvement. She played piano and organ for Faith Baptist Church for about 40 years, and was a fervent cheerleader for all her children’s activities.
Linda displayed a deep faith in Jesus Christ as her Savior. She had a sincere peace about facing her departure from this earth. This, along with the love and support of her family and friends, is what helped her "finish well".

Linda is survived by her husband Donald (Siloam Springs); her daughter Lisa (McCutcheon) Halim and husband, Mohammed Halim (Dublin, CA), daughter Deb (McCutcheon) Meierotto and husband, Jay Meierotto (Ashland); her son Mark McCutcheon and his wife Jenny (Rochester, MN) and son Alan McCutcheon and his wife Sarah (EauPinckney (Ashland); her brothers Dick Pinckney (Uncasville, CT) and Tom Rubenoff (Brookline, MA); and her sister, JoAnne Dormady (Ashland). She is also survived by 12 grandchildren: Miriam and Adam Halim; Parker and Christian Meierotto; Hannah, Carter, Grace, and Nora McCutcheon; Sophie, Sydney, Carson, and Cate McCutcheon.

Linda was predeceased by her father, George, and her grandson, David Halim.
