Great Nana also enjoyed spending time with her great-grandchildren Charlotte and Theodore Wheeler.

Linda enjoyed everything outside in her gardens. She loved when neighbors would compare her yard to an English garden and took great pride in the details of making everything beautiful. Her favorite times were being with the entire family for a large meal and sitting and talking with each of her grandchildren. Nothing brought her more joy than spending time with each of them. Linda worked at Orchard Golf Center in the snack shop area for over 40 years. She enjoyed the friends and atmosphere of the facility and was always glad to share a smile with the patrons.
