After raising her 3 children, Linda became a licensed realtor where her love for helping others shined brightly. Linda was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, and a woman of faith. Always cheerful and willing to help anyone in need. Her dedication to her native home was evidenced through her community service. She was a longtime member of First Presbyterian Church and served on the Girl Scouts of Gateway Council for over a decade. She was a dedicated member of Altrusa International and the Lake City Garden Club. Anyone who knew Linda, knew she loved spending time at the river with her family and friends.
