Linda was born in Monticello, NY and attended high school in Waverly, NY.

A devoted mother and wife, Linda kept an immaculate home. Linda served as a volunteer with Friends of High Bridge Trail State Park and Holiday Lake State Park.

Linda will be greatly missed by her family and by many friends from Florida, New York, Connecticut, and Virginia.
