Karstedt and Chamberlin´s families, I´m so sorry for your loss. I met Linda at Cleveland High School and we had lots of fun while being members of Job´s Daughters. Linda, have fun reliving lovely memories with Dani in the great Bethel on High.

Linda showed me grace and love the first time I met her. She and my aunt went to school together and when I began dating her daughter, Kimberley, she brought out yearbooks to show me pictures. Linda was an amazing mother, grandma, and a pillar to her daughter and family. We were unable to be by her side in the last few years, but she will be greatly missed.

Linda and I go way back to our high school days. She went to Cleveland and I to Franklin, but we met up in Jobs Daughters and became fast friends. I am sad that I was unable to visit her in her last few years on earth, yet I am happy that she is free to be Linda again and dance with Paul in Heaven. Linda was a good friend to so many people and will be missed by all.

Paul and Linda were long time friends. We spent many holidays with them , traveled together, belonged to the same Care Group for 30 years, and Bunco group for 20 years. So many memories, meals, and laughter. One Care Group trip to Nye Beach, Linda arrived at lunch after shopping. In her haste to get to lunch, she left one of her 2 tops at the store. She became Linda Two Tops. I am saddened by her death as I was when I was no longer allowed to see her a few years ago.

My condolences to Linda's family. I knew Linda from Elk Grove, California as our administrative assistant for First Baptist Church. She was simply amazing. She was such an important part of the team because she was oftentimes the first person that people would talk with if they came into the church office or called the church for information. She shared the love of Jesus with those that walked through the doors of the church.

She was caring, and kind. She had a laugh that was simply the best, and we shared a lot of laughs! Our family got to know her on a very personal level because she was one of my mother-in-law’s best friends. When my mother-in-law became ill, Linda was there to help, support, care, and simply be present to the end.

When our family moved to Sioux Falls, South Dakota, we got to see Linda when she would come to visit her parents. It was always great to see her, because when we saw her, it was like she was bringing a bit of home to us. Our lives were better because she was a part of it.

“I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.” 2 Timothy 4:7. Well done Linda.

Linda loved our family like her own and we loved her right back. She was always gracious, giving and full of love and light. We shared many holiday meals together - her Linda Potato's will live on for years! I can see her laughing with Paul!

Thank you dear friend for all my cherished memories of our time together since we were teens.
Linda, you always loved me, advised me and supported me. When my 41 year marriage dissolved, you were there to help pick up the pieces. You showed up to help pack and move me and your words are still in my memory bank. " If he touched it, get rid of it! Time to start a new normal."
I'm sad that I couldn't keep our promise to be with each other at the end. I know in my heart that I'll be with you and Paul again. Can't wait to have new adventures together. I love and miss you
I feel you're watching over all of us and will guide us with God’s love.

So sorry to hear of the loss of your sweet mother. We worked together for a number of years at Legacy Health System. We enjoyed many stories and laughs together. She was a kind loving person. May she have peace and rest with her husband Paul...forever!

Linda you and I go way back to our teens. I am blessed by many cherished memories. Not only childhood memories, but adult ones too. After my marriage of 42 years dissolved, you were there during my divorce. You always gave me excellent advice and help me purge my home before I moved. I can hear you telling me," If he touched it, get rid of it!" "Start a new normal." Thank you dear friend for all your love and support over our years together. You are missed, but I know we'll be together again. Love and Hugs. Connie

Linda and her husband, Paul were our best friends from the time our children were little. She excelled at being the hostess and loved to entertain, even when we were RV-ing together We laughed a lot. We shared a common love for Jesus and we look forward to seeing them both again in our eternal home.

Linda was my Administrative Assistant and Legacy Emanuel, until her retirement. I treasured her skills, her competency, and her caring. We often prayed together when faced with challenges. I loved her deeply. I have every confidence I will see her again when Jesus comes again and will make all things new. Hugs to Linda's daughters and her grandchildren.

So sad to hear of Linda´s passing. She was a wonderful friend and coworker. We had many fun dinners at her place playing card games and going out to lunch together as "Pauline´s Girls". Another friend who´d passed some years before. What a wonderul person. I´m sorry I lost touch in the last couple of years. She will be missed by all who knew this beautiful person.

Linda was my "work" mom. Every afternoon I would sit in her office and we would share stories about our families. Some funny, some sad. She had a comforting spirit. My condolences to her family. Now she´s home with the Lord and reunited with Paul.
