Linda was born on January 31, 1946, to Alma Snook in Charleston, Illinois. After graduating West High School in Rockford, Illinois, she went to flight attendant school in Buffalo, New York where she graduated to become a Flight Attendant for American Airlines. Linda enjoyed working and travelling the world for the airline for 42 years. Her favorite place to travel was Milan, Italy where she went many times to enjoy the beauty, rich history, and amazing food. Linda also enjoyed spending time gardening and planting new things in her garden. Her beautiful garden won awards and she was so proud when people stopped over to see it. Most of all, Linda enjoyed her family, especially at the holidays. She enjoyed having her family over for big elaborate meals where she liked to make old family recipes including sugar cookies, peanut butter fudge, and fillet mignon, but also trying new recipes that always seemed to turn out. Linda especially loved Christmas. Linda enjoyed decorating her house with elaborate Christmas decorations and giving gifts to her family. Linda always enjoyed spoiling her grandkids with many gifts and would fill the area around the tree with many gifts.

Linda will forever be missed and cherished. She always lit up the room with her smile and laughter. Her family and friends will remember her in different ways as she brought so much to everyone's lives. Her children will remember her for her style and spiciness and for all the laughs. Her grandchildren will remember her for her shopping trips she took them on, her silliness with them, the fun gifts she gave them, and her love for them.
