She graduated from Becker High School. In 1997, she received her Nursing Assistant certificate at VoTech in Tulsa, OK. She dedicated many years of her life to taking care of and raising her children.

Linda was a Christian and loved the Lord. She attended Christ United Methodist Church in Tulsa, OK for several years. Her favorite scripture was 1 Corinthians 13:13, “And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.” - NKJV 13:13 I Corinthians

She loved to volunteer at Manor Care, a rehabilitation center, in Tulsa, OK. She enjoyed hosting activities for residents to participate in and visiting with residents who needed a friendly person to talk to. She was there so often and worked so well with residents, that they ended up hiring her as an Activities Director.

Linda enjoyed fishing for trout or crappie, painting, taking care of her little dog Bell, making arrangements, crafting, decorating, making holidays special and spending time with her children and grandchildren.
