Linda worked at Baylor Scott & White Hospital, Temple, Texas for many years and at Will-O-Bell Nursing home, Bartlett, Texas.

Linda was a strong will person, she had a lot of spunk in her. She never met a stranger, and she loved being around people. It was never a dull moment with her, she would say something or call you something outrageously funny. We will truly miss her.
