Linda was a woman whose greatest joy came from her family. She loved spending time with her family and grandchildren. Her love was unconditional and her heart was generous. Her presence brought comfort and warmth to everyone, fortunate enough to know her. As a mother, she was devoted, caring and endlessly supportive. As a grandmother, she brought a special kind of love; one filled with patience, laughter, hugs with countless treasured moments. Her children and grandchildren were the pride and joy of her life. Her love will continue to live on through each of them.

Linda also had a passion for the game of pool. She loved the fun, competition, and camaraderie that came with being around the pool table. Whether she was playing a friendly game with family and friends or enjoying the challenge of a well-placed shot, some of her happiest memories were made laughing, talking, and enjoying good company while playing the game she loved.
