Linda Monje, a longtime resident of South Lake Tahoe, passed away on October 23, 2025. Linda was born in Alameda, California to the late Sarah and Alvin Torres. She worked as a legal assistant in several local law offices over the years, and also worked as a court clerk for the El Dorado County Superior Court. During the last twelve years of her life, up until the time of her death, she was employed at the Law Office of Bruce Grego.
Linda enjoyed the outdoors. In the Spring and Summer, she would bike throughout the South Lake Tahoe area, hike local mountains, and even run in local marathons. She was also active in her local church, St. Theresa’s Catholic Church.
She is survived by her children, Mike, Paul and Lena Monje; her grandchildren, Samantha and Frances; her sister Mildred; her daughter-in-law, Mary Jane, and many nieces and nephews, cousins, and friends. She earned a Juris Doctorate, and was an intelligent, kind and gentle person. She had a fiercely independent soul and will be missed by all who knew her.
A mass will be held at St. Theresa’s Catholic Church in South Lake Tahoe on November 19, 2025, at 1 p.m. There will be a reception afterwards, and all are invited to share our memories of her.
