Linda had worked at Remington Rand and Curly's Chicken House. She then operated a daycare, out of her home, for many years. Wanting to keep busy, she worked at the Christmas House after retiring from her daycare business. Linda enjoyed weekend road trips with her husband Patsy. One of their favorites were the casino trips to Atlantic City NJ. Linda cherished family and friends, always looking forward to the next family gathering at her home for good food and good conversation. She will be forever loved and missed.
