Linda worked for me for many years at Wells Fargo Financial. She was always an excellent employee and a quiet and positive influence on her co-workers. She was a talented artist. Joyce and I are so sorry to hear of her passing. Our prayers for Linda and her family

I was so saddened to learn of Linda's passing. She and I worked together more than 40 years ago in the Ad Department for Pidgeon's Furniture, where she encouraged me to pursue a career as a commercial artist (I was the secretary way back then). Linda was bright, funny, witty, and I think she went to every single movie that came out, telling us all about it the following Monday. We had a lot of fun during our work time together. I lost touch with her throughout the years but express my sincere condolences to her family, whom I know she loved dearly.

Marci, Bob and Linda's entire family, we are so sorry for your loss. At each family affair we got to know Linda a little more and more.
One thing for sure she loved her family especially the nieces and nephews. She could recall all the fun things they had done and was quick to tell someone of their accomplishments, if she had the opportunity and an ear to listen. We will miss how friendly she was to all of our family. Remember the past and cherish your memories.
