In addition to her family, she had many lifelong friends that she held near and dear to her heart.

Linda graduated from Mt. Saint Mary Academy in Little Rock AR and was a member of St. Theresa’s Catholic Church. Linda was known for her love of dancing as it was one of her most favorite things to do. She loved it so much she was a member of the Bop Club and the Spa City Dance Club. Linda also never met a stranger. She loved to talk with anyone and everyone. She would look at you with the most beautiful blue eyes, and you just knew she wanted to be right there with you in every conversation. Linda also loved the casinos. Though she was never a huge winner of the slots, she loved to play and have fun. Linda loved her family, white and yellow daisies, and her favorite little poodle, Puddin.
