Linda worked as a sales representative for Avon and became one of their top performers. She received numerous awards and recognition, even being featured in the newspaper multiple times. She was a world-class hostess who welcomed everyone into their home. She enjoyed spending time with her children, spoiling her grandchildren every chance she got, traveling, winning in Wendover, and boating.
