(Sarah) Smith, Suanne (Kevin) Price, and Cheryl (Paul) Stadel-Bevans and step-children Diane Smith and Susan Weekley. She is also survived by 11 grandchildren and 9 great grandchildren. Much to her delight, she discovered in recent years that she had a half-brother, Dale (Phyllis) Harrington, who also survives her. Linda is also survived by her beloved dog, Sadie Lady.
