Linda settled in Westfield in 1980 and for the past 45 years made it her home. A woman before her time she renovated her home herself and always had an open door for both people and pets.

She made her own jelly and baked her own bread before it became cool again to do so. Other hobbies included camping, fishing, trains, reading, lunch dates with the ladies and teaching those she loved.
Born in Madison Wisconsin to the late Fredrick Yarwood (Grace)and Hazel Wold (Jerry). Siblings Punkey Spink, Randy Wold (Terry), Richard Yarwood, Mary-Ellen Yarwood and predeceased by Donald Yarwood (Jan).
