Linda always enjoyed family gatherings, especially around the holidays, and also just having friends and family around her all the time. She also enjoyed going to rummage sales or just shopping with her daughter, Melissa any chance she could get. Linda's life was always about her children and her grandchildren. When she wasn't with family she loved to clean and decorate her home. She also enjoyed going to Florida to visit her nephew Robby, and going to the local theme parks--the bigger and faster the roller coasters the better! Linda also loved to spend time working in her yard planting flowers and gardening. She always had pets--she loved animals. The highlight of her evenings was taking her dog Shady on little walks around the neighborhood. She is survived by her fiancee, Randy Bennett; a daughter, Melissa Ammon and her boyfriend Chuck Emrich of Dakota Dunes, SD; a son, T.J. Moore and his girlfriend, Cathy Dice of McCook Lake, SD; a son, Matthew Entriken of Sioux City, Iowa; seven grandchildren, Isabel, Tyce, Jarrett, Abigail, Kimberly, Ryan and Alex and one great-grandchild, Jaxon; three brothers, Lonnie Bellis, Robert and his wife, Deb Bellis, and John Willer; step-brother, Perry and Mary Ann Willer of California; step-sister, Robin Tanner and her husband of South Dakota; many nieces, nephews, great-nieces and nephews, her special aunts and several cousins.
