Linda was a nurse for 24 years at Indiana University Health Medical Center in Indianapolis until 2006 when she became the school nurse at Granville Wells Elementary until her retirement in 2022. She truly loved helping the students and staff with all of their ailments. Sometimes they just needed a hug. 

Her faith was very important to her and she faithfully read her devotions daily

 and supported many charitable organizations. She was an avid runner having participated in many half marathons across the country. Her hobbies included being an avid reader, gardening, walking and running at Eagle Creek with her sisters and brother-in-law and spending as much time as possible with her family and friends. 

Aunt Linda often attended her nieces, nephews and great nieces and nephews school activities and sporting events. Forty-three years ago, she took her oldest nephew to Disney on Ice which turned into a family tradition with her many nieces and nephews along with their children.
