Linda Lou (Fannin) House

Linda (Fannin) House, 76, passed away on April 28th, 2024, at home surrounded by her family. She was born in Elkhart, on December 15, 1947, to the late Dolan & Elieen (Huffman) Fannin. Surviving are her children Paul (Stephanie) Ravenscroft, Jr. and Christine (Matthew) Schultz.

Grandchildren Nathan Ravenscroft, Lindsay (Nick) Edwards, Alexandra, Emily & Ivy Anthony, Holden Mullins and Kayla Schultz; three great-grandchildren, two sisters, Mary (Bob) Lee, and Kathy (Dan) Lenhart also survive.

She was preceded in death by her husband Michael House, her parents, sister and brother-in-law Connie (Dennis) Malloy and sister, Sue Maron.

Beyond her professional achievements, Linda cherished reading, often immersing herself in new worlds and perspectives through the pages of a book. Linda loved playing Euchre with family and friends and found joy in searching for special gifts for her family. Her passion for literature was rivalled only by her dedication to crafting a warm and inviting home for her family, always surrounded by delicious home cooked meals. Her absence will leave a profound void in the hearts of all who knew her.

Per the family’s wishes, cremation has taken place and a time to celebrate her life is scheduled for Saturday, May 4, 2024, from 11-1 pm, with a service to follow at Cruz Family Funeral Home, Osceola. Linda’s cousin, Ron Drake, will officiate and the burial will take place following the 1pm service at Prairie Street Cemetery, Elkhart.

Memorial donations can be made to the Elkhart County Humane Society. To light a virtual candle, share a story of Linda’s life, or leave a message of comfort for her family, please visit the Tribute Tab.
