Linda was born November 3, 1949 in Valparaiso, FL to Bill and Barbara Raines Caldwell, and was raised in Boonville, MO. She worked nearly 25 years in a manufacturing job, before it closed. At the advice of a friend, she applied to Boone Hospitals' Environmental Services Department. She began her new career there in April, 2008, and dearly loved the work she did there over the next several years. Outside of work, she enjoyed reading Stephen King novels, solving crosswords, and spending time with her grandkids.
She is survived by her mother, Barbara Caldwell; children, Amy (Robert) Ivicsics of Boonville and Eric (Sharon) Wainscott of Columbia; grandkids, Bailey, Brayden, and Emma Ivicsics, Zachery and Brandy Wainscott, and Christine Baker; great-grandkids, Holden, Greysen, Camden, Carter, Swae, Sophia, Emersyn, Gracelynn, and Oaklee; and three brothers, Richard (Linda) Kaiser, Stanley Caldwell, and Chris Caldwell. She was preceded in death by her father, Bill, and life partner, Karen Wren Stock.
