Linda Holte

Linda Holte of Davis died May 9, 2002, after a lengthy battle with progressive
supranuclear palsy. She was 54.

She was born to William and Aagot Umland in Magnolia, Minn., on May 24, 1947,
and graduated from Magnolia High School. She earned an English education degree
from St. Olaf College in Northfield, Minn., where she met Carlton Holte, whom
she married in 1969. The couple moved to Davis in 1971, after living for two
years in Decorah, Iowa.

She was a substitute teacher at Old Emerson Junior High School in 1971 and later
took a full-time position. She taught at Old Emerson, Holmes Junior High and
Davis High School until her illness forced her retirement.

In addition to teaching English, drama and speech and a writing seminar, she
directed plays and musicals, coordinated the Steinbeck country field trips and
was a class adviser.

She was a mentor teacher for the district, a member of the review team for
school accreditations, a reader and consultant for state test development
projects and writing programs, and was an active member of the Area 3 Writing
Project and the California Association of Teachers of English.

She was active in Lutheran Church of the Incarnation as a council and committee
member and Catechetics teacher. She was a longtime member of Children's Home
Society and enjoyed playing bridge.

Survivors include her husband; her children, Erik Holte of San Jose and Maren
Holte of Concord; her sisters, Carol Burtness of Solvang and Pamela Rohr of
Santa Ynez; their families; and numerous relatives and godchildren.

A memorial service will be held at Lutheran Church of the Incarnation, 1701
Russell Blvd. in Davis, at 2 p.m. Saturday.

An English education scholarship fund is being established in her memory at St.
Olaf College.
