Linda worked at the VA Hospital Palo Alto, CA for 28 years becoming the lead hand therapist at the facility. She also assisted veterans in securing the correct motorized wheelchair or scooter. She provided training for the proper use of these vehicles. She loved her work and co-workers. She hoped to return to work following surgery for cancer in 2010, however she retired in 2011.
She was an artistic, colorful, vivacious individual who will be sorely missed by all her knew her.

We sure had lovely times together at the Mountain View complex when we all lived there. We will always remember Linda and her family and all those BBQ's and pool gatherings.
