She lived in Woodinville with her family for the last 49 years and was a substitute special education aide in Northshore School District. Linda and her husband lived for their camping trips along the Olympic Peninsula. Hunting for agates, fishing, finding meaningful gifts to share and eating out. She especially loved Kalaloch and Ruby Beach. She was a strong woman who stayed true to her convictions and loved her friends and family well. All of those living near her knew her for her wit, kindness, and gift giving over the holidays, whether it be thoughtfully purchased or hand made gifts. Her neighbors were much loved and a very important part of her life.
