I got to know Linda from her frequent visits to our hardware store. She was a determined woman when it came to her projects.
She never turned down a challenge when it came to fixing something. I enjoyed her visits because she always shared her adventures that she had with her "travel buddy" Joyce. She always made me laugh. My sincere condolences to all her family and friends.

I will always remember Linda wearing a smile. She was always smiling, even when power walking around the lake. My walks will now be blessed with thoughts and memories of a wonderful neighbor. My heartfelt condolences go to her family.

Linda was a wonderful person and you as her family must know she was always kind and caring. Her time at Delton Kellogg Schools she touched hundreds of people and made a life-long happy impression. I was one of those she touched and I am so glad she did. Linda always reminded me to smile as each day was a gift. My prayers are with the family.
