Linda was an avid Jazz fan and helped lead the Jazz to 27 wins in the 20-21 season by watching them religiously and cheering them on. Thank you to Donovan Mitchell, Rudy Gobert, and the Jazz for creating such positive energy. She could cook like no other and crocheted beautifully. Linda loved to play cards and was an avid reader.

Dear Family of wonderful Linda. I know how you miss her. In fact, we have all missed her for a year now because of COVID. She was a lady in every way. I am eternally thankful that she has been in my life for the last 20+ years as a dear friend and precious mentor. I pray that what I believe is true and she is happily in Heaven with Randy and all the family she loved so very much. She hated being sick and bed bound so that is the way I see her--smiling, walking and sitting with no pain, looking beautiful, and surrounded by the many she loved and helped along her way in life. She was a precious, precious person.
I love you forever, Linda. Always your friend, Judy Chatwin
Just want to let you all know how much I loved Aunt Linda. She was a very special part of my life growing up and in our later years. I loved going to lunch with her and Jane. I know there is a reunion going on right now with her and all her loved ones who have gone on. Mom loved her like a sister. I have so many fond memories of our family gatherings. Love to you all.
