Linda was blessed with 10 grandchildren and 17 great-grandchildren. A woman of strong faith, she deeply loved the Lord and found her greatest joy in serving her family. Her happiest moments were spent hosting large family gatherings where no one ever left hungry and everyone’s favorite dish was prepared! She especially cherished time with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren creating memories that will live on for generations.
