Linda had a love of antiques; her and Daryl restored many treasures to share with family and friends throughout the years. 

During their retirement years, Linda and Daryl lived in Marshfield MO with their kitties and surrounded by five acres of beautiful wildlife. 

Linda deeply loved her family, especially her five grandchildren. Whenever family visited, Linda would welcome you with hugs and arms wide open. During the Holidays Linda baked the most delicious Christmas cutout cookies, and the entire family looked forward to these each year.
