Linda found great joy in golfing, attending the theater, and spending time with her family and friends. Linda enjoyed volunteering at St. Gabriel’s Church where she was a member since moving into the community. She was especially known for her delicious Christmas cookies, which she baked each year and personally delivered around town. Her annual Christmas party was a tradition that everyone looked forward to. One of Linda’s favorite things was hosting. Above all, Linda loved taking her grandchildren to Cedar Point, local museums and everything in between.
