Linda became a grandmother in 1994 and went on to have six grandchildren and six step-grandchildren.

Those who knew Linda would describe her as loving, passionate, creative, and a source of strength. She enjoyed reading, gardening, nature, art and doing puzzles. She spent much of her free time creating beautiful quilts, many of which were displayed and included in local quilt shows. While she had many hobbies, her greatest passion was her family and spending quality time with those she loved.
