The joy of Linda's life was her family and her faith and she served and loved deeply. Linda adored her grandchildren and spent time, hiking, crafting, watching movies and playing together. She was also involved in a ministry at The Chapel in Akron, for and with women, called WOW (Women for Oppressed Women) which encourages women by equipping them to imitate Christ and empowering them to be missional. Linda's heart was always for people, she was generous with her time, kind with her words and compassionate with her actions. She loved to walk around Cuyahoga Falls, OH and Palm Harbor, FL with her husband David, where they frequented many regular spots. She and David began the Fall Metro Park Fall Hiking Spree in 2000 and had 23 badges on their hiking staves. Last year as Linda was not able to participate, her granddaughter Beth completed the Hiking Spree with family and friends in honor of her Grandma E. Linda enjoyed reading, hiking, crafting, knitting and crocheting. She took her love of crafts, knitting and people wherever she went. Linda led and participated regularly with the Knitting Knights in Fairlawn, OH and another group in Palm Harbor, FL. Both groups provided blankets, hats and scarves to women and children with limited resources within their communities
