Linda F. Newhouse died on Dec. 3, 2025 at her home in Hermiston at the age of 75.
She was born on Nov. 27, 1950 in Moses Lake, Wash. to Telford and Dorothy Bissinger.
Linda was raised and attended schools in Hermiston, graduating from Hermiston High School in the class of 1969. She worked for a time at JR Simplot and later decided to be a stay-at-home grandma. Linda married Ronald Newhouse on Sept. 11, 1992 in Tacoma, Wash. She enjoyed her two yorkie dogs (Benji and Brodee), shopping, the ocean, puzzles, electronic games, and Facebook.
Linda cherished spending time with her grandchildren and supporting them in their sports and school activities. Linda was always the first one down by the wrestling mats to holler and cheer her grandkids. Linda loved her Starbucks and usually was the first one in line to get her triple shot venti mocha. One of her most cherished and adventurous memories was when Linda and Ron rented a motorhome and traveled to Maricopa, Ariz. to see her son Jeremy and family. One of Linda’s special memories is when she would have her grandkids over before Christmas. They would sit around the table and decorate Christmas cookies together.
She is survived by her husband, Ron Newhouse, Hermiston; David Foreman, Hermiston, Chris Foreman, Hermiston and Jeremy Foreman, Maricopa, Ariz.; daughters, Amy Morse, Hermiston, Ronda Newhouse, Portland and Kelly Medina, Pembrook Pines, Fla.; brother, Donald Bissinger, Spokane, Wash.; 15 grandchildren; and numerous great-grandchildren.
Linda was preceded in death by her parents and a grandson, Christian Foreman. Linda’s sister-in-law, Maxine “Mickie” Newhouse, joined her in heaven just 30 minutes after she arrived.
