Linda made her living with Marion Public Schools where she worked as a parapro before her eventual retirement.  From a young age of helping raise her brothers and sisters, to starting a family of her own, Linda enjoyed every opportunity to work with and love on kids.  She was a loving and caring wife, mother and grandmother.  She enjoyed helping her community and was generous with her time and talents serving as a Marion School Board member for a number of years.  She created many memories traveling to Florida over the years as well as their annual CUZN's get-together's with Richard, Marcia, Linda, Rowland, Greg, Phyllis, Bruce, and Sharon. She will be deeply missed by many.
