Linda Jones Austin, born on Oct. 21, 1943 in Great Falls, Mont. passed away peacefully on Feb. 1, 2025, in Los Gatos—in the beauty of the Santa Cruz Mountains that she loved so much.
Linda’s life was marked by grace, beauty, elegance, love and kindness.
A classically trained ballerina, she was best known for her love of fashion, design and effervescence.
She will be missed by all those whose lives she touched—most profoundly by her beloved husband of 55 years, Manuel Austin, her cherished children, Quinn Sutton Austin, Catie Austin and Manuel “Mijo” Austin, eight adored grandchildren and one treasured great-granddaughter.
