Linda was a member of Messiah Lutheran Church, she loved her church family and enjoyed making Memory Bears and Quilts. She attended Trinity United Methodist Church in Joliet for many years. She was very active while she lived at the Willow Falls community.

Linda's greatest love was being a mother and a grandmother. She cherished her son-in-laws, and spending time with her family was her greatest joy.

We'd like to thank Sunny Hill nursing home staff and rehabilitation therapists for the passionate care our mom and family were given in the last few months of her life.
