Linda worked mostly factory jobs and enjoyed the fast pace of it. She loved gardening and canning what she grew. She loved to crochet and bake. She made the best Strawberry Cake that we all loved. She loved to watch the birds at the feeders. She loved her family more than anything else. She had a heart of gold and would help when she could. She had the best smile that warmed everyone’s heart. She also loved the Green Bay Packers.
Linda’s children – Dan and Anthony and her sister Norma, would like to thank the nursing staff at ThedaCare Medical Center – Waupaca for taking such good care of her and helping her boys through the most difficult time of their lives.
As requested by Linda, there will not be a service or funeral. The Maple Crest Funeral Home of Waupaca assisted the family with arrangements.
