Linda was born April 29, 1959 in San Francisco, CA to Julian Kaufman and the late Carole Stern Kaufman. She grew up in Daly City, CA where she attended Westmoor High School. She enjoyed biking to the ocean, writing songs and poetry, playing the guitar, and summertime. Linda may have had health struggles but lived life to the fullest. She loved her grandchildren and going to Florida to the ocean, art, and so much more. She would do anything for her friends and loved fiercely. She made everyone who knew her laugh, cry, and loved to talk about the blessings of God in her life. Our family is grateful to know that Linda is finally at peace in Heaven.

She is survived by her loving husband, Bill McDonald, four children and their spouses, Marc (Melissa), Megan (Tim), Beth (Corey), Bryan (Danielle), and nine grandchildren. Her family includes her father, Julian Kaufman, sister Karen, brother Steven, niece Abby and countless friends.
