Linda L. Pruyn died on June 22.

She was born on April 13, 1944, in Payette, Idaho, to Clifford and Edna (Scott) Putman.

When she was a young child, her family moved from Payette to Nyssa. Pruyn was raised and educated there.

She worked for Treasure Valley Animal Clinic for several years. She met Ronald Pruyn in the late 1980s and they were married on July 6 in Nyssa. Pruyn and her husband moved to Crane in 2000.

Pruyn always gave her loved ones 100 percent. She was giving, caring and willing to help anyone in need. She loved the outdoors — fishing, hunting and sometimes loved to go for a drive to look at wildlife, flowers and the country. She enjoyed going on picnics and having her family and her grandchildren visit.

Pruyn is survived by her husband, Ronald Pruyn of Crane; children, Todd Pruyn and wife, Talesha of Nyssa, and Ronda Simpson of Boise, Idaho; brothers, Mel Putman of Coos Bay, and Kenny Putman of California; and grandchildren, Casey, Trevor, Whitney, Ashely, Kurtis, Kayla and Amanda.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Clifford and Edna Putman and daughter, Mellany Mae Barrows.
