As a mother, grandmother, and great grandmother, Linda’s heart overflowed with love, and she took great pride in her family, always putting them first and cherishing every moment they spent together. Linda had a zest for life that was truly inspiring. She loved the feeling of sand between her toes at the beach, the thrill of riding motorcycles, and the simple joy of dancing, which she believed kept her young at heart. Her passion for movement and music reflected her vibrant spirit. For 29 years, Linda, her husband and son owned and operated a carpet cleaning business, demonstrating her incredible work ethic and dedication to helping others.

Her compassion for all creatures was just one of the many ways she radiated kindness and empathy. Linda’s legacy will live on through the countless lives she touched. My Wife, Our Mom and MawMaw will forever be remembered for her big heart, adventurous spirit, and unwavering love for her family. She will be deeply missed, but her light will shine on in the hearts of those who loved her.
