Linda was born February 25, 1941 in Victoria, Texas to Mary Elizabeth Smith Leur and Vernon Jatho Leur. She worked for Mobil Pipeline for many years which took her all over Texas. She even lived in Alaska for 11 years working at the pipeline's branch there. In 1996, she came back to Victoria and became a teacher for Stroman High School. She enjoyed growing orchids. Ever since the mid-1980's, when she would travel around the world, she would always bring back an orchid seedling to plant at her home. She definitely had a green thumb. She loved sewing and quilting and her two shih-tzus. She was a mother, sister, grandmother and great-grandmother. She will be dearly missed.
