Linda was a part of the Covington High School graduating class of 1958, as well as attended Perrysville Schools for 10 years. She retired from the United State Postal Service after a 22-year career as a service carrier after working at branches in Covington, Indiana, Greensville, South Carolina and Catlin, Illinois. She also worked at General Electric in Danville, Illinois, for a number of years. She was a devoted member of First Baptist Church in Danville. She enjoyed her life as a devoted and loving wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. Many enjoyable years of her life were spent in Christian service in many churches across the country alongside her husband. She was a proud field representative for the Lighthouse Children’s Home in Kosciusko, Mississippi and Costa Rica.
She had a vast joy for life and enjoyed spending her time with friends, reading, planting flowers, working in her garden, capturing life’s moments through pictures, traveling and vacationing with her family, attending church and giving back to others.
