Linda and her two other younger sisters were raised by their aunts and uncles for a brief time, and then made their homes with their older siblings and their families.

  Linda had five sisters and two brothers. Linda was a graduate of Kewanee High School in 1964, and then received certification as an x-ray technician from the Kewanee Public Hospital School of Radiology.

She assisted with the Children's Library at Sheffield, Illinois Library, and with the Blue Birds Group in Buda, Illinois. She was an election judge for Concord Township for many years. She was a master gardener graduate, as well as a member of a home extension group of Bureau County.
