Together they raised two wonderful children, Holly and John, and they enjoyed building their family and large circle of friends in Northwest Arkansas for 56 years.

She loved the art, museums, different cultures, and visiting churches during her travels. She was well-read, always eager to learn and share her thoughts with others. Linda had a genuine love for people; she would give everything she had to help a stranger and never missed an opportunity to get to know someone better. But she loved her family most of all. Linda's children and grandchildren held a special place in her heart. She found great joy in the moments spent with them.
