Family members remember that Linda was a care giver. From an early age Linda seemed to have a special place in her heart for the elderly and those with disabilities as she was always quick to recognize and assist them with their needs.

Linda enjoyed being at the lake fishing, gardening, canning, cooking and baking .  She also enjoyed playing cards and board games such as Tripoli. By far, Linda's greatest love was for her children and grandchildren. Her greatest joy was to spend time with her grandchildren, they brought joy to her life and she brought joy to theirs.
