Linda was an avid dog lover. She loved her family, friends and neighbors dearly. She loved all the holidays and enjoyed dressing up for them in fun outfits and jewelry. She loved black and white movies, bingo, sleepovers with her sissy girl and taking fun trips to the casino with her family. She enjoyed fishing with a cane pole, Horror/Murder mystery novels, playing cards and watching true crime shows while enjoying her favorite snack jalapeños with popcorn. She hated wearing shoes. Her family describes her as being super cool, eccentric and the life of the party. She truly loved get togethers with her family and friends and will be deeply missed by them.

We know she is in heaven with our Lord watching over us and we cant wait until the day we join her again.
