With heavy hearts, CCRA announces that Linda Breech (age 54) passed away on Tuesday, August 19, 2025, after being diagnosed with glioblastoma in June. Linda worked for over 30 years in the court reporting industry and made a huge impact on the profession, both in Colorado and nationally. She started her career in California and moved to Colorado in February of 2020. She has served on the CCRA board since 2022 and was just installed as president in April of 2025. Linda recently testified in front of the Colorado legislature to advocate for voice writers in our state, has represented Colorado at NCRA Boot Camp twice, and was a key player in getting the 2024 Wild West Roundup Convention off the ground. She was a strong leader and advocate for the court reporting community, and her time was cut short by this horrible disease. She will be greatly missed.

Linda's family has requested no flowers and instead asks that anyone wishing to donate to please donate to students in Linda's name. CCRA has set up a student fund in Linda's memory at ccra.info/donate. All donations will go towards helping CCRA student members attend seminars and pay for membership dues.
