Spouse, mom, daughter, sister, aunt, Linda was the original "Wonder Woman" who priortized the needs of three families while managing a career and somehow making it seem effortless. She always Lovingly did hrer best to include everyone, and it was important to her to maintain family traditions. Linda was the mortar that connected all the family. There was nothing that she enjoyed more than a family party, and her husband, Don, often said, "She wore grooves in the road with the many family functions she attended at Honeyville, Brigham City and Logan, Utah, as well as Burley and Lava Hot Springs, Idaho and so many others. She was an excellent homemaker, and everyone is going to miss her famous shrimp salad and world class pumpkin cookies. She always enjoyed camping, bowling, and games. She spent many years camping with family. close family friends, and her brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law. Wherever they went, it usually involved a motor home, motorcycles, and laughs around a campfire. There were many trips down the west coast, National Parks, and several trips to arizona later in life when she retired.

Linda was an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and held many church callings in Young Women's and Relief Society.

Special thanks from the family to Connie Dastrup, and Helen Trujillo for being two special friend who have been with Mom since Dad's passing. Also, Richard Dastrup for all the home repairs and looking after mom with any needs she had in the house.
