Born on July 3, 1945 in Dunedin, Fla., she was a daughter of the late William Norman Hurst and Gertrude Carter Broersma Hurst.

Linda was a loving mother and grandmother who adored spending time with her family. She was a graduate of E.C. Glass High School and was a retired Administrative Assistant with Meredith-Burda / R.R.
