I remember the first day that I met Linda, I came in for a job interview with Dr.Atcheson. Linda was working the front desk alone that day. My first impression of her was…Wow, she looks like a strong German woman, I don’t want to mess with her. I think it was her blonde hair coloring or something that gave me that impression. Boy, was I wrong when she spoke, it was clear that she was from Texas. She was very pleasant and I enjoyed working with her. The day I started working with Linda, she became a mentor to me. She had so much knowledge to share, she was so patient & willing to teach me the correct way to do medical billing, how to efficiently run a front office and eventually taught me the tricks to administering a quick painless injection among other front & back office duties. We worked together for almost 20 years!
I never felt like I was I was going to work each day, but just going to my other home. The Atcheson’s became like family to me and the patients were like our extended family. It was the best place to work & we had so much fun together.
One of the sayings I will always remember Linda saying is…”Boy Howdy” with her Texas accent.
It was a pleasure working with her and she will be missed. My heart goes out to her and the family and I hope that time will heal their broken hearts.

Though I did not know Linda Atcheson personally, I was well-acquainted with her husband, Dr. Steve Atcheson. I was very fortunate to have him as my rheumatologist. Because I lost my own wife, Colleen, in December, 2019, I can identify with what he is going through right now. I send my condolences to him and Linda's family. After reading her obituary, I can see why she was an amazing lady and will certainly be missed. Though time can heal some of the pain of her loss, her absence will always be felt--especially at times when families come together and celebrated their shared memories. I wish Steve the best as he trods into the future, and may everyone in the Atcheson family find peace and comfort in the coming days. Larry Struve

We fondly remember times together in Reno with Linda and Steve. There are good memories of going out in Reno, including with doctors and families from our medical practice. Our children grew up with Nate and Katy, and we all extend our condolences to you with the loss of Linda. Thinking of you at this difficult time.

Ron and Linda Smith
