She was active in New Neighbors, currently the president of the organization. She was also active in the New Neighbors and Women’s Club book clubs. She attempted to play bridge at the Senior Center, partnering with Dr. Ken Wilkins.
Linda has crossed the Rainbow Bridge. Although she had no children of her own, she always had the four legged variety around. She enjoyed answering the question who rescued who. She is with them now.
The family expresses its gratitude to the wonderful staff of Wayne Memorial Hospital. They are a true asset to Wayne County.
