Linda Darlene (Delph) Martin, 67, of Silver City passed away Thursday, June 4, 2026. In accordance with her wishes, cremation will take place.
Linda was born November 1, 1958 in Silver City to Mary Linda (Bosshart) Delph.
Linda was wild, crazy, and lived life to the fullest. She was always up for an adventure. She loved RV'ing around the country and meeting new people. She loved any child or dog she met. Anyone who visited her would leave with a belly full of her delicious cooking and she would help or take care of anyone who needed it. Not only was she adventurous and caring, but she was tough. Any friend was family and she would be the first to stand up for anyone she cared about.
She is survived by the love of her life, her husband of 47 years, Leonard Martin; children, David, Troy (Renee), and JD (Maralie) Martin, and Crystal (J.V.) Brahm; brothers, John (Cindy) and Dean Delph; her nine grandchildren, four great-grandchildren, numerous nieces and nephews, lifelong friends, Linda Beck and Colleen Mathena; and the many friends she made during her RV travels.

She was a loving wife, devoted mother to her three sons, proud grandmother, beloved sister, aunt, and godmother, and a dear friend to many.
