After being transferred to many cities in the Midwest throughout the beginning of her husband’s career, they settled in Sergeant Bluff, Iowa, in 1978, where she built a home and a family. Linda was considered a “super-Mom” by those that knew her best, managing a full-time career while never missing an important date or milestone in her children’s lives.

She returned to reside in O’Neill in 2011, and became a faithful member of St. Patrick’s Catholic Church, where she dearly loved to hear the choir sing.
