Over the years Linda played many rolls after graduating from BHS in 1967. She worked for the Eddy Group until she married and had her children who then became her main focus. When her children entered school she became an active volunteer in the Home and School association where you could find her organizing hot dog days, school trips and whatever else needed to be done as well as becoming a leader within the Guiding organization. She also played many roles within her church. She taught Sunday school for many years and was always involved in whatever event was happening within her church community. If you couldn't find her at home she was at church doing something or just chatting and having tea with her friends.
