She was always ready to travel, including multiple trips to California, and a memorable trip to Kapalua, Hawaii. Her love of country music inspired a road trip with her sister Barbara to Memphis. She enjoyed reading and cheering on her girls and grandkids in their variety of activities as she was able. Linda was the manager at Walmart for many years and later retired while working at a doctor's office in Blue Springs. She took a variety of trips with her co-workers.
