Linda had a zest for life and cherished the simple joys it offered. She found solace in the great outdoors, spending cherished moments camping with family and friends. Linda had an immense love for the beauty of nature and her green thumb was evident to all who had the pleasure of visiting her home, as she carefully selected flowers to complement each passing season; From daffodils or tulips in the spring, to colorful mixtures in the summer, to mums in the fall, Linda's garden became a living painting, enchanting all who beheld it. Her love for game shows was evident as she would often spend evenings at home, relaxing in her favorite chair while eagerly watching contestants answer trivia questions and solve puzzles. She had an uncanny ability to shout out the correct answers from the comfort of her living room and treasured the excitement that the shows brought into her life. Linda will be sorely missed, as her family and friends forever remember her beautiful smile and infectious laugh, leaving a legacy of positivity, kindness, and everlasting love.
