She gave countless hugs, kisses, and "I Love You"s every day, all day. She was a member of Rock Solid Truth, and a leader of a Woman's Fellowship for Abundant Life Church of God. She loved the Lord, and now has the most cherished reward for which any Christian can hope, for now Linda is in Heaven with God. She enjoyed reading, sitting outside, the river, her pets, and her many life-long friends. She loved the time spent with her family, especially her youngest, Mia, her grandbabies, and her great-grandbaby.
