Linnea Victoria Fahrnkopf died unexpectedly on December 13, 2022, 4 months after moving back to Montana to be with family. She has recently had numerous medical issues, which she faced with courage and determination.
Linnea was born on May 20, 1983, in Bremerton, Washington, the daughter of Janet Yeager Myers and William Gerard Myers, Jr., and grew up in Bremerton and Port Orchard, Washington, before moving to Helena, Montana with mother and brother in 1999.
She graduated from Capital High School in 2002, and attended the University of Montana, graduating in psychology with honors in 2006.
Linnea was a talented award-winning photographer, a true friend to many, a compassionate and caring mother, a singer with a sweet and sometimes surprisingly rich voice, and a loving daughter and sister.
She worked various positions at Best Buy, Hertz, Lowe’s and Marriott, as well as being a freelance photographer and videographer, photographing numerous birthdays, weddings, corporate and government events.
Linnea is predeceased by her father, beloved grandmother, Edith Tongren Yeager, and much-loved half-brother Franklin Myers.
She is survived by her mother, Janet Myers, brother Corbin Myers, and children Emma Grace Fahrnkopf and Charlie Ray Fahrnkopf, best friend/sister Aly O’Brien and surrogate dad Ray Allen and his wife Ingrid, and Uncle Leigh Myers and numerous cousins and half-siblings.
There will be no services, but a future warm-weather memorial in Yellowstone Park, her favorite place.
