Linda was born in St. Cloud, Minnesota, and grew up in St. Cloud and Walker, Minn.

Together, Linda and JR created a life full of love, laughter, and memories. Linda was a hardworking woman, employed at Gibson’s, The Alamo, and C+, and she also helped with farming and co-operated JR’s Glass Shop.
Family was at the heart of everything Linda did. She loved spending time with her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, and enjoyed attending their sporting events. Linda could often be found driving around town, grabbing Sonic drinks, or singing to her great-grandchildren. She was also known for her love of reading and relaxing outdoors and burning one. LOL!
