Linda will lovingly be remembered for her deep faith and generous spirit. She was a lifelong member of Maple Hill Church of Christ and worked as an administrative assistant for Wynn’s Precision Rubber. Her greatest joy in life was her family. She showed her love in countless ways, most famously through her canning. She was well known for her homemade pickles and her cherished green tomato relish, which became a favorite among family and friends. True to her generous nature, Linda was always giving away what she had canned, finding joy in sharing the fruits of her labor with others.
She was also gifted with her hands. Quilting and sewing were lifelong passions, and in her early years Linda lovingly made all of her own clothes, as well as those of her children. Every stitch reflected her care, patience, and dedication to providing for her family.
