A cherished parishioner of St. Bernadette Catholic Church, Linda devoted herself to her faith as a dedicated Eucharistic Minister and a religious educator. Her compassionate spirit extended beyond the church walls as she served as a minister in hospital settings, always bringing comfort and solace to those in need. Linda was a true prayer warrior, tirelessly interceding for others with a heart full of love and devotion. She was proud to obtained her Bachelor's degree, going back to school at the age of 46 years old and working as a social worker for 15 years. She spent many years as a Brownie and Girl Scout Leader.

In addition to her spiritual dedication, Linda possessed a passion for creativity. She found joy in gardening, crocheting, needlepoint, quilting, and sewing, each stitch and bloom reflecting her nurturing spirit. Her beautiful presence resonated with all who were fortunate to know her, particularly her children and grandchildren, with whom she cherished every moment.

Linda's legacy of love, compassion, and faith will forever remain in the hearts of those she touched. She is now in the presence of our Lord and Savior, whom she loved so deeply.

In this time of sorrow, we invite all whose lives have been enriched by Linda's unwavering spirit to join us as we honor her memory and reflect on the profound impact she made on our lives.
