She was a Star Trek "Trekkie," and a Harry Potter fan. She loved TV mysteries, the Star Trek series and the old Hawaii 5-0 series.

Known to have a generous spirit, Linda loved people, made friends easily, and was
known to have never met a stranger. Most of all, she deeply loved her family, and
cherished time spent with them. She looked forward to hosting Christmas get-togethers in her beloved home.
