Linda Diane Shanks

Linda was the `Cat Whisperer´. Many stray cats would show up on her porch. I think they knew they were now at a safe place, where they´d be spayed/neutered then be on a path to either finding a forever family thru rescue adoption, or become part of an outside cat community where they would find safety, shelter, food, but most importantly love. Many times Linda and I set traps to rescue new cats that showed up. Sometimes Linda could just scoop up the cat to put into a carrier. We´d tag team...

She was my sister´s neighbor she lived downstairs. I remember watching something on tv together and she made us some popcorn. RIP Linda.

LINDA is one of a kind. I found out today as I searched her name on good since she hasn't been on her phone for a while now. She is the best neighbor I had (I use to live on top of her) she will be truly missed. This news devastated me.

I remember Linda treating me like family, never being judgemental , always willing to help and share anything she had. She was my best neighbor and I will miss her very much. Love you Linda always. Care bear

Ive heard the best stories about Linda over the last few months. She sounds like she was such a fun vibrant woman. You could tell she loved her family deeply.

Thank you for all the pivotal memories grandma
