Linda Richter Leslie Lieder, 69, of Springfield, passed away Sunday May 7, 2017. Linda was born to Joe Harrison and Frances Jennie (Fry) Richter on August 10, 1947.

Linda was a 1965 graduate of Ash Grove High School and completed two years at SMSU. She loved life and loved to have fun.

She could brighten any room with her smile and infectious laugh. She really knew how to enjoy life to the fullest and be the sunshine to those around her. Her three granddaughters were her greatest pride.

Linda was preceded in death by her parents and husband, Franklin Lieder.
