Obituary : Linda Binns

Linda Binns, a compassionate nurse and dedicated patient advocate, touched countless lives throughout her 78 years. Born in West Virginia and later calling Fallon and Yuma home, she cherished her family and community, leaving behind a legacy of love and service after her passing on January 21, 2025.
Obituary : Linda Binns

Linda Binns was born in Spencer, West Virginia, on Feb. 25, 1946. She was raised in 

Hagerstown, Maryland, graduating high school and attending nursing school. She was an 

operating nurse for 18 years. 

Linda and her first husband, Johnny Johnson, moved to the Bay Area in California in the early 

1980s, where she worked in the medical insurance industry as a patient advocate for several 

years. 

Linda met the love of her life, Stan Binns, in 1992, and they were married in Las Vegas on 

March 5, 1994. 

When Stan retired from the Coast Guard, they moved to Fallon—buying a house in 1994 and 

moving permanently to Fallon in 1996. 

Linda worked for Hendrix Insurance, the Lahontan Valley News and the Senior Center while she 

and Stan were “in retirement.” She also volunteered as a member of the Country Fair and was 

instrumental in the return of the fair to the Cantaloupe Festival. 

Linda and Stan spent eight winters in Nayarit, Mexico, a community they dearly loved. 

Due to health problems, they stopped traveling to Mexico and settled back in Fallon at the Frey 

Ranch, where they spent 12 years. In 2023, they bought a house in Yuma, Arizona. 

Linda passed away Jan. 21, 2025. 

She is survived by her husband, Stan; son, John Johnson, of Owensboro, Kentucky; and two 

grandchildren in Texas. 

Family held a small service in Yuma in January.

Comment author: Jeff goings Comment text: September 11, article Civics 101 I would like to commend Rachael Dahl and the Fallon post for their article. Civics 101. This is a reminder that we as citizens live in a representative form of government and why it is so important that we vote as voting is our way of making our voice heard.

When we bought our land in Kingston, Sis regaled us with her stories of gatherings at the old restaurant & bar on the way to Groves lake. Sis often said, 'What happens in Kingston stays in Kingston!' Fun & funny lady. Comment publication date: 9/8/26, 5:58 PM Comment source: Marilyn J. “Sis” Banovich Comment author: Ruth Fiege Comment text: So sorry for the pain your family is suffering. She is in comfort of Jesus arms. This is Ruth Fiege, Gary's cousin from WI. I can't begin to imagine the pain your family is suffering. So much comfort in knowing she and baby are with Jesus. God Bless you all during this tragedy.
