Linda J Abajian

March 8, 1943 — June 21, 2025

It is with deep sorrow we announce the death of our mother, Linda J. Abajian, who

sadly passed June 21, 2025.

In addition to her parents, she was predeceased by her husband Melvin Abajian,

sister Janice Sapien, and brother Tom Mills.

Linda is survived by daughters Kimberly Franklin and Robin Hanna, two grandchildren,

three great-grandchildren, and an extended loving family. Full of love, laughter, and

resilience, she touched the lives of all who knew her. Steadfast as a wife, mother,

nanna, aunt, friend, neighbor and co-worker, her door was always open, offering

support, wisdom, and an abundance of love.

She retired from the Indio Police Department after 14 years of service. A cherished

member of the community, for ten years she and her husband transformed themselves

into Santa and Mrs. Clause, spreading Christmas joy throughout the Coachella Valley,

lighting Christmas trees for various cities, hosting toy & food drives, and delivering gifts

to thousands of children.

We invite all who knew her to join us in remembering a truly remarkable

woman.

The service will be held at
