Linda, loved scrapbooking, working in the yard with her flowers, and taking long speed walks at Lake Park, and cooking for others. She always looked forward to spending time with her children and grandchildren. She went to as many sports games and activities as she could. She was a woman of routine. For several years, she enjoyed her camper and her dog Lacy. At Christmas, she loved decorating and setting up her village. Her smile was sweet and always genuine. When you were with her, you knew when you were in trouble sometimes without her having to say a word. She made an amazing pink lady because I know her care was thorough and with intention. She loved card club and visiting with her friends and siblings. She was a team player and bowled for several years. She spent a portion of her time working at Canal Cargo. Her presence was always a gift. Linda loved to travel.

Linda was a strong fighter and now is at peace sailing in heavens. Floating free from any of life’s pain.
