December 2, 1945 - July 16, 2021

Linda A. (MacLeod) Muir passed away on July 16, 2021 surrounded by loved ones who will continue to celebrate her life. Affectionately known as Bimmzy, Linda was born in Concord, MA on December 2, 1945, to the late Merrill W. MacLeod Sr., and Alice (Wille) MacLeod.

Raised in Concord, she graduated from Concord Carlisle High School in 1964 and began her career in the insurance industry. She worked for Middlesex, Peerless, and Liberty Mutual Insurance. Linda traveled extensively and made homes in Keene, Westmoreland, and Dublin in NH, as well as Fountain Hills, AZ, and, finally, Lafayette, CO.

In addition to her husband, Robert Muir, of Lafayette, CO she leaves behind her sisters: Bette A. MacLeod of Cave Creek, AZ.; Deborah J. (MacLeod) Grady and her husband Richard, also of Cave Creek, AZ.; Jane A. (MacLeod) Banach, and her husband Donald of Plattsburgh, NY; her brother John E. MacLeod, of Hillsboro, NH.; as well as her sister-in-law Suki MacLeod of Acton, MA. She is also survived by many nieces, nephews, and cousins. Linda shared a special bond with her grand-nephew Desmond Fowler-Faraone of Lafayette, CO. Linda was predeceased by her parents, Merrill and Alice, as well as her brothers, Merrill W. MacLeod Jr. and Thomas D. MacLeod.

Linda loved many sports including softball, skiing, tennis, hiking, sailing, and golf. She was a gifted fly-fisher, hunter, and skeet shooter. Linda taught many the art of marksmanship, how to enjoy nature, and how to sail as our "Captain". In retirement, Linda found an amazing talent as an expert woodcarver of fish and birds, winning several awards in competition. She was a member of Colorado Carvers Club, as well as many fishing and hunting organizations. She also enjoyed researching and compiling family history. Linda had many gifts, but her joyfully enthusiastic singing and unusual talent for emulating animal calls will never be forgotten.

There will be a private remembrance of Linda at a later date.
