She was always the life of the party and became a life saver when she donated her bone marrow for her brother Gary. Linda was afraid of hospitals but overcame that fear in order to be able to help save her brother’s life.
She loved cooking, was the line cook for Dairy Bar and Painted Pony and various area restaurants. She enjoyed her Halloween Birthdays, and socializing at Rosie’s Bar in Florida. Fantastic memories were made when she joined the family on an unforgettable Vermont vacation where they all caught fish in the lake, scaled them, and ate them.
