Linda always had a mischievous smile, that made you wonder what she was up to. She could always brighten a room with her presence.  She was always up for a party, so it was fitting that she passed away on St. Patty's Day.  She also loved to travel, one of her favorite places was Colorado and many trips to Minnesota to visit her grandson and great grandson. She was an avid sports fan; she loved all sports. Her favorites were the Chicago Cubs and the Kansas City Chiefs.

She always loved to attend her children and grandchildren's sporting events, especially watching her grandson Taner play baseball when he played in Colfax at the "Lyle Sutton Field". Most of all she loved gathering with her family and enjoying the time she was able to spend with them.
