Linda Lee Krause

Linda had many passions to include crafts of all kinds. She also liked genealogy research, airplanes, and gardening. She was a previous member of the Community Bible Study. Linda had a creative and witty sense of humor. She loved to laugh and make others laugh with her. She was extremely devoted to her family. Linda retired from civil service at Cherry Point as an Aviation Metalsmith.
