Betty and George Fauver welcomed Linda Joyce (Fauver) Silveira into the world on April 17, 1947, in Bakersfield, California.
Their family of Linda relocated to Anderson, then to Martinez and Oakland, and finally to Pacifica. Linda graduated from Irvington High School in Fremont, where the Fauver family made their last migration in 1965.
While attending Irvington High, Linda met Danny, the love of her life. Their blossoming romance started in their mid-teens and lasted more than 59 years! Danny and Linda were wed in Reno, Nevada, on January 22, 1966. Shortly after, they relocated to Greenfield.
Right after graduating high school, Linda began working for Beneficial Financial Corporation. While working at a King City office during tax season in December 1973, Linda enrolled in an H&R Block course.
She worked as a secretary at Universal Foods in June 1974 and continued there for ten years. Danny worked for Cornnuts for 28 years, and Linda worked as a lab technician.
Linda enjoyed being active. She prepared for and participated in a 10K race in Carmel in her late 30s. When the 1984 Olympics passed through Greenfield, she was thrilled to have the opportunity to volunteer as an Olympic Torch Running Marshall.
Although both of her kids were actively involved, Linda supported the Greenfield 4-H club and served as its president. Even until the end of her days, she continued to donate to and support the Salinas Valley Fair.
With her daughters and grandchildren, Jason, Cooper, Lukas, and Ruby, Linda developed a lifetime love and appreciation for gardening and animals due to her work as a 4-H leader. She worked in her garden and groomed the dogs every morning.
Before turning 50, Linda achieved her objective of earning a liberal arts associate’s degree from Hartnell College. After both of her daughters attended the same college, her aim was achieved. She was a lifelong learner who enjoyed reading and socializing with new people.
A devoted mother and grandmother, Linda significantly contributed to her children’s social abilities and self-assurance. She set an exemplary example for her family, demonstrating grace under pressure while also being kind, funny, and helpful to others.
She had always supported the Paso Robles Moose and Elk Clubs, The Young Farmers, and the Salinas Valley community. Along the process, she made innumerable pals.
For the past 30 years, I have also handled the books for their welding and cattle businesses.
Cabo, New Orleans, Reno, Santa Barbara, Mazatlán, Baja, New Zealand, Portugal, Santa Fe, Alaska, and many other locations were among the places Linda loved to visit and go on adventures.
Particularly remarkable were multiple road journeys into Baja and a six-week tour across the US. She cherished vacations with her family and friends but always looked forward to going home.
