SONOMA COUNTY, CA — A woman who perished when the Tubbs Fire roared through the Santa Rosa mobile home park where she lived was identified on social media by her daughter as as Linda Tunis. "My mother's remains have been found at her home at Journey's End. May she rest in peace, my sweet Momma," Jessica B. Tunis posted on Facebook Wednesday above a photo of her mother in the Facebook group "Santa Rosa Firestorm Update."

The Tubbs Fire, which started near Calistoga Sunday night but spread to Santa Rosa, destroyed the Journey's End mobile home park at 3575 Mendocino Ave., located just north of Kaiser Permanente's Santa Rosa Medical Center at 401 Bicentennial Way.

On Monday, the distraught daughter posted at 10:22 p.m. in the Facebook group, "Does anyone know if Journey's End mobile park got evacuated before it burned down? I can't find my mom."
