Linda Lee Fait (née Lillemon) 

November 27, 1941 – January 6, 2025 

Linda Lee Fait, a cherished wife, mother, grandmother, and friend, passed away peacefully on January 6, 2025, in the presence of loved ones at her home of 47 years in Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin. She was 83 years old. 

Born on November 27, 1941, in Maddock, North Dakota, Linda was the beloved daughter of Herbert and Mildred Lillemon. She grew up alongside her sister Faye (Puhlmann), who predeceased her. Linda’s life took a beautiful turn when she met Gordon L. Fait while attending Custer High School in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Their love story blossomed into over 64 years of marriage filled with devotion and countless adventures together. 

Linda’s greatest pride and joy came from her family. She was a devoted mother to Jeffrey (Jane) Fait, Jennifer (Harry) Oberle, Janeen (Mark) Fait-Herkert, and Julie Fait. Her role as a grandmother brought her endless happiness as she spent cherished moments with her grandchildren, Whitney Davison (Chris Grosbier), Kacie Davison (Lukas Olsson), and Hailie Oberle. Linda also played a loving role in the lives of her niece Brooke (Alvin) Bross and nephew Greg (Warren) Allen. Her home was often the heart of family gatherings where love and laughter created lasting memories.

An adventurous soul with a passion for travel, Linda especially enjoyed exploring the southwestern United States alongside Gordon. Many of their journeys were enriched by sharing them with their children and grandchildren. Known for her nurturing heart and selfless nature, Linda touched countless lives through her boundless love and unwavering support.

The family wishes to extend their heartfelt gratitude to Horizon Hospice for their compassionate care during Linda’s final days.
