Linda May Duncan, a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and friend, passed away peacefully at her home on June 23, 2026, at the age of 71, surrounded by her loving family after a valiant battle with pancreatic cancer. Born on September 20, 1954, in Blackfoot, Idaho, Linda was the daughter of Clayton and Nona Perry. She was predeceased by her cherished mother, Nona Perry, and her beloved grandson, Tucker Duncan.

Linda leaves behind a legacy of love and devotion, survived by her adoring husband of 52 years, Mark Owen Duncan, who remained her steadfast companion and partner in life until the very end. Together, they raised a beautiful family, nurturing five sons and a daughter: Jason Duncan, Jared Duncan (Heather), Robert Duncan (Sarah), Stacie Randall (Trevor), Thomas Duncan (Emily), and Michael Duncan (Melinda). Her father, Clayton Perry, also survives her, along with her 23 grandchildren and three great-grandchildren, who were the light of her life.

Linda's career was marked by dedication and a boundless capacity for compassion.

A woman of many passions, Linda found joy in the simple pleasures of life. She was renowned for her playful spirit, often delighting friends and family with her practical jokes. Her love for the arts shone through her involvement in church plays and skits, where her creativity and enthusiasm were evident. Linda cherished her moments hiking with her sister Carol in the breathtaking landscapes of Yellowstone and Jackson. Her talent for organizing family gatherings was unmatched, and she took great pleasure in cooking enough to feed a small army, ensuring everyone felt welcome and loved.
