Linda was a member of West Street Christian Church. She was a graduate of Kokomo High School and played a mean game of Euchre. In her spare time, she enjoyed reading, crocheting, and knitting.

Neil and Linda loved going to the tractor shows together, meeting up with old friends, making new friends, and showing off their IHC and Cub Cadet tractors. As the grandkids grew up, she loved to go cheer them on at various sporting events. Linda enjoyed cooking and listening to music.
