Linda Lee Molina, 65, passed away on April 30, 2013, at her home in Bigfork.
She was born on Feb. 10, 1948, as baby girl Stephens in Helena. She was adopted by Joan and William Friedrich of Bigfork.

After high school she started her own family. Liana (Friedrich) Rowe was the first child and love of her life.
