Linda Mae James died in Prescott, Ariz., on Monday, July 14, 2014, at the age of 67. She was born in Jerome, Ariz., on Oct. 13, 1946, the daughter of Leonard and Imogene (Talawytewa) James.
Linda grew up in Clarkdale, Ariz., and graduated from Mingus Union High School in 1964. She moved to Kingman, Ariz., shortly after, where she started a family and worked in various places throughout her time there.
