Linda Lou Norton, 77, passed away on Sunday, February 8, 2026, surrounded by her loving family.

Linda was born in Newton, Kansas, on April 2, 1948, to Bonnie Arlene (Grabill) and Warren Wade Carlton.

After graduating from high school, Linda worked for many years as a Medical Assistant in Salina. In her later years, she enjoyed doing crafts, playing BINGO, and watching movies—especially the Twilight series.

She is survived by her two daughters, Tracy, wife of Wayne Rohleder, of Manhattan, Kansas, Tina Blundred of Salina, Kansas; her son, Tony Norton of Gypsum, Kansas; and her brother, Robert, husband of Christine Carlton, of Arkansas.

Linda is also survived by her grandchildren, April Norton, Caitlyn Larson, Trinity Kaiser (Chase), Tristan Blundred, Madison Norton, Kaile Black, Chase Davis, and Brayson Young; as well as her great-grandchildren, Liam Munson, Kanden Norton, Paisley Norton, Quade West, Sterling Kaiser, and Preston Kaiser.

She is preceded in death by her parents and her grandchild, Sydnie Norton.

Cremation has been chosen, and a graveside service will be held at 11:00 AM on Saturday, February 21, at Highland Cemetery in Newton, Kansas.

The family requests that donations be made to the Salina Family Healthcare Indigent Program, in care of Carlson-Geisendorf Funeral Home.
