Our family lost our loving, thoughtful and incredibly strong wife, mother, daughter, sister, niece and friend on August 29, 2010.
Linda Tullar passed away after a 6 year battle with cancer, surrounded by her family who will miss her immensely. She brought a ray of sunshine to all whose lives she touched, even during her most difficult moments of her illness.
A graduate of Mountlake Terrace High School, she married her childhood sweetheart, Kirk Tullar on May 11, 1985 and had 2 sons, Bennie and Kyle. They lived in Monroe, Washington for the past 22 years.
She worked at Universal Avionics System Corporation for 12 years, where she thought of her peers as her family. She recently left her employment at Canyon Creek Cabinets in Monroe, WA. where she had been employed for 6 years. She will be sorely missed by all her coworkers.
As important as her career was to her, her main focus was always her family. Children were always drawn to her. Their home was a constant influx of her son’s friends, who referred to her as “Mom”. Her door was always open, making each person feel special and unique. One of her greatest gifts was the encouragement that she gave to others.
Other than with her family, she loved to spend her time cooking and baking, camping, reading a good novel, watching movies with her family, creating crafts for others, and loving her 2 dogs.
Linda was born on 9/16/1962 in Carrington, ND, the youngest child of John Sheaffer and Phyllis Hook. She is survived by her husband, Kirk Tullar, her sons Bennie (21) and Kyle (19), her mother, Phyllis and stepfather, Don Hook of Sun City West, AZ, father, John and stepmother, Bobette Sheaffer of Bothell, WA, siblings Teresa Grube of Naples, Fl, Michael Sheaffer of Lynnwood, WA, Laurie Brook of Arlington, WA, and stepsiblings, Heidi Kueny, Hoyt Hook, Danette Goree and Timothy Riche.
