Following her retirement from teaching, she worked for the Francesville-Salem Township Public Library and Meadow Springs Celebration venue.
While in Francesville, she attended the Francesville United Methodist Church and later the First United Methodist Church in Winamac. Linda wanted to live in the country. She purchased land east of Francesville on State Road 39 where she constructed a log cabin. She loved making it her home, being able to tend her flowers, garden, pond, birdfeeders and beloved pets. She enjoyed traveling, golfing, beekeeping, spinning & knitting and game nights with friends. Linda also loved ballroom dancing and baking, especially pies.
Compelled to be a student of ovarian oncology later in life, she developed an intimate appreciation for compassionate physicians, nurses, and caretakers who are called to practice this medical science. Bless them all.
