As a longtime friend of Mikes, I met Linda decades ago and always felt her genuine and sincere warmth while in her presence. She truly shined as a gracious, fun and talented soul who valued everyone in her life. Our world is a better place because of Linda. She will be sorely missed and her memories cherished. Thank you. Laura (Rippee) Sagen-Hughes

Linda was a very special "sister" to her many Beta Sigma Phi friends, and we will all miss her beautiful smile along with her beautiful soul. I grieve for your whole family, but I know God has welcomed her with open arms, and that she is finally at peace. Don and Linda Pickens

We remember our Springtree neighborhood gatherings and shenanigans with great fondness. Linda was a prime "mover and shaker" of fun activities and events. She was a loving wife, mother, and friend and will be missed by all. Dan and Jana Shaw

My wife, Diane, and I knew Linda for so many years and considered her one of the most delightful woman we have ever met. We are deeply saddened and in prayer for Mike and the children but Linda is now home with her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Linda was my sister-in-law for 44 years. Over those many years we became very close and I loved her with all my heart. She had a wonderful sense of humor, an incredible creative, artistic "eye" for interior design, a love of celebrating birthdays and holidays and a remarkable ability to push through any obstacle or trial with grace. I will miss her goofy, childlike fun loving spirit. She was a terrific wife and mom and our whole family looks forward to our heavenly reunion. Rest in peace, dear Linda. Until we meet again we will always remember you with love and affection.
