Linda was a beloved member of Cedar Road Missionary Church, who loved the Lord and found great joy in spending time with her family, especially her great-grandchildren. Linda had a special talent for crocheting unique blankets, which she lovingly made for her family and friends. She enjoyed her visits to the casino, where she had fun and made memories. Known for her generosity and caring nature, Linda always had a smile on her face that could brighten anyone's day.

This world is not our home. We are just passing through. Her life ended here on earth, but she has a new life that will never end. She’s in the arms of Jesus. We will now celebrate her life. We'll all be sad She's gone, but it does all of our hearts to know She's in Heaven. Thank you, Jesus!
