Linda was a 1956 graduate of Jefferson City High School. She was employed with Central Bank for a few years before deciding she was meant to be home caring for her family. She became a homemaker and never looked back. Linda was a woman of faith and a prior member of the Central United Church of Christ for many years. Recently she had the opportunity to take her place as a founding member of Oasis United Church of Christ and she was blessed to call it her church home. Linda was a shopaholic, never passing up an opportunity for retail therapy. She loved fashion and was always perfectly accessorized with big earrings and purses. She enjoyed decorating for the holidays, especially when she could dig into her Irish Roots for St. Patrick's Day. Linda grew up riding and traveling by train, and she even collected a few trains of her own over the years. Linda was a very generous and giving person, enjoyed a healthy debate and loved things to be neat and tidy. She had lists for her lists and was always perfectly organized. Linda cherished the conversations and laughter she shared with others, and she firmly believed that laughter added to your years.
