Linda loved cooking massive holiday meals, experimenting with recipes, listening to music (especially Fleetwood Mac), and doting on her cat Merlin. She worked at the Westfield Walmart from set-up for the store opening until her retirement. Linda shared a life of mutual devotion and unwavering partnership with her husband Greg through nearly 52 years of marriage, going on adventures and to numerous concerts together, watching General Hospital together, and raising three sons, whose talents she consistently encouraged and nurtured. Linda also enjoyed gardening and decorating her family’s home for holidays, especially at Christmas. Linda’s greatest treasure was her grandson, Brady, whom she took great pride in.
