Linda was raised on a farm and even though her soul mate of 59 years Frank took her out of the country and moved her to the city of Hastings, her farm up bringing never left her soul. Linda still loved her horses and made sure her children were able to have the same experience.
Linda loved life to the fullest and always put everyone else first before herself. She loved music and learned to play the accordion later in life. The Accordion Group played for many events around Michigan.
Linda and Frank loved to travel spending time in their RV going all over the U.S. until they decided to retire from camping and start traveling to Florida and staying a few months near their dear friends. Linda was blessed with spending time with all her family for weekend outings or get togethers with friends playing cards. Linda always made sure to attend as many activities as possible for her grandchildren from football games, cheerleading events, swim team, choir, band or one of them showing an animal at fair for 4H, to watching them compete in FFA.
