Linda Ann Dieter

Jan. 15, 1941 -- Dec. 6, 2020

Linda Ann Dieter was born to John and Lenora Porter on Jan. 15, 1941, and passed away in Bakersfield on Dec. 6, 2020, at age of 79. Funeral graveside services will be held Wednesday, Dec. 16, at 11 a.m. at the Wasco Memorial Cemetery.

In her youth, Linda was involved in Jobs Daughters, graduated Wasco High School in 1959, and attended beauty school. She was a hairdresser for 46 years. Linda married Larry Dieter in 1960 and had been married 60 years at her passing.

Linda was very involved in her children's lives. She volunteered at St. John's School in Wasco and helped with carnivals, bingo, dances -- and always made Rice Krispy treats for the classroom parties. She attended all their sports and band competitions. She was also so involved in the Wasco High Band Boosters and worked many football concessions.

Linda was also a member of the Wasco Woman's Club for several years.

Linda loved the beach, mountains, gardening, reading, shopping and doing puzzles. She also loved crafting of all kinds and watching crime shows.

Linda's favorite time of the year was Christmas, and she always had the most beautiful Christmas trees and packages.

Linda is survived by her husband, Larry Dieter of Wasco; children Mark Dieter (Jacqueline), Jennifer Dieter Ogborn and Stephanie Parker (Steve); grandchildren Madison, Brooklyn and Christopher Dieter, Jacob Ecret, Andrew, Cambria, and Brody Parker, and Jaylund DeLeon; and great-grandchild Anthony Ecret. Linda is also survived by her brother Gary Porter (Becky). She was preceded in death by her parents John and Lenora Porter and sister Diane Johnson.

This world is blessed to have had Linda a part of it, and she will be deeply missed.
