Linda's greatest joy came from spending time with her family. She loved creating cherished memories filled with laughter and love. Her culinary talents were unmatched; every Sunday, she would host the family meal, bringing everyone together around the table for a day of nourishment and connection.

A true people person, Linda loved her family, especially her grandchildren. She found immense joy in their accomplishments and growth, and her love extended to her great-grandchildren as well.
