Linda Grantham

Linda Marie Grantham (nee: Young) 75, of St. Peters, MO was called home on April 1st, 2024 after a 5 year battle with Alzheimer's.

Linda was born in St. Louis, MO and graduated from Maplewood High School. 

Linda spent the better part of her career as a Veterinary Technician at Maple Tree and Ellisville Veterinary Clinics. She also worked as a dental assistant at New Melle Dental for several years. She had a deep love for animals, especially dogs. She was an obedience trainer and breeder for years. She had a championship doberman and Australian terrier that she would show. At her home in New Melle you would find horses, donkeys, dogs, cats, birds, and the occasional chinchilla. 

Later in life she returned to her grandparent's home in Maplewood where she enjoyed gardening and volunteering her time at Maplewood Baptist Church. 

Her generosity had no limits. She was a kind and caring soul and her pride and joy were her family, especially her grandchildren. 

Linda is survived by her two children, Alan (Trisha) Grantham and Stacey Sortor; her eight grandchildren Alexandra (Jeremy) Wright, Mitchell Sortor, Caden Sortor, Zachary Sortor, Avery Grantham, Addy Grantham, and Ashton Grantham. And one great granddaughter Lilly Wright. As well as her siblings, Rick (Karen) Young, Terri Young, Joan (Mark) Brousseau, and her wonderful nieces and nephews. 

She was preceded in death by her parents Paul and Deloris Young. 

A visitation and celebration of life will be held on May 11, 2024 at Morningstar Church at 1600 Feise Rd, Dardenne Prairie, MO, 63368.
