Linda enjoyed writing and photography.  She was a feature story writer for The Pantagraph and provided her own photos.  She used computer software to compose and produce pamphlets for children's ministry and church bulletins. She put her trust in Jesus Christ as her hope of heaven.  She loved her husband, her children and family, and her church family, and above all God.  She welcomed several people into her family as sons and daughters when they needed a mom.

She was a born-again Christian.  She will be greatly missed here on earth, but someday, we who believe that Jesus Christ is the son of God and that He died on the cross for our sins and that God raised Him from the dead, will join her, never to be parted again.

Linda was a member of Faith Fellowship Ministries, Fairbury where her memorial service will be held at 10:30 am Saturday, December 12, 2020.  Memorials may be directed to Faith Fellowship Ministries, Fairbury.  Duffy-Pils Memorial Home, Fairbury is assisting with arrangements.
