Linda was born Nov. 21, 1953, in Sioux City, to Wilbert "Ole" and Lucille (Rouillard) Bellis.

She was united in marriage to Thomas Moore on Nov. 26, 1971, in Sioux City. They had two children, Melissa Lee Moore and Thomas Moore Jr. Just before marrying William Holmes, she had another son named Matthew Ray Entriken. She worked for several years at Zenith in Sioux City. She also was a security guard for Wells Fargo for a short period of time. She had been a lifelong resident of Sioux City.

She always enjoyed family gatherings, especially around the holidays and just having friends and family around her all the time. She also enjoyed going to rummage sales or just shopping with her daughter, Melissa, any chance she could get. Her life was always about her children and grandchildren. When she wasn't with family, she loved to clean and decorate her home.

She enjoyed going to Florida to visit her nephew, Robby, and going to the local theme parks, the bigger and faster the roller coasters the better. She also loved to spend time working in her yard, planting flowers and gardening. She always had pets (she loved animals). The highlight of her evenings was taking her dog, Shady, on little walks around the neighborhood.

She is survived by her fiance, Randy Bennett; a daughter, Melissa Ammon and her boyfriend, Chuck Emrich of Dakota Dunes, S.D.; a son, T.J. Moore and his girlfriend, Cathy Dice of McCook Lake, S.D.; a son, Matthew Entriken of Sioux City; seven grandchildren, Isabel, Tyce, Jarrett, Abigail, Kimberly, Ryan and Alex; a great-grandchild, Jaxon; three brothers, Lonnie Bellis, Robert Bellis and his wife, Deb and John Wilier; a step-brother, Perry Wilier and his wife, Mary Ann of California; a step-sister, Robin Tanner and her husband of South Dakota; many nieces and nephews; many grandnieces and grand-nephews; her special aunts and several cousins; and her special friend, Robert Williams.

She was preceded in death by her parents; her step-parents; and a nephew, Ryan Bellis.
