Linda loved her family, friends, and the countless pets that she adored throughout her life. Linda was fortunate enough to accomplish many of her life goals, such as having a home in the countryside with many animals and traveling to destinations far and wide, including her ultimate destination of Patagonia, where she practiced her life-long hobby of photography. During the pandemic, Linda used her sewing skills to make quilts for her family members and countless face masks for local organizations as well as friends and family.
