I met Linda in the early 1970s when we were both members of the International Order of the Rainbow for Girls, although we were members of different assemblies. In 1979 she served on the state level as Grand Representative of Colorado. In the 2000s she served Unity Assembly as Mother Advisor. She was to have been installed Worthy Matron of her chapter of the Order of the Eastern Star in November 2012.
An enthusiastic scrapbooker, Linda had a kind heart. She will be sorely missed.
Linda passed away at Fairmont Hospital after a long illness. She is survived by her two brothers.
