Linda graduated from Denver East High School in 1964. After High School she went on and graduated from Wig College and worked for Red Seal Chip Company and Wright McGill Fishing Supplies. Linda was proud to be the first female head cook at two Denver Restaurants. In spite of Linda's many positions in cooking and catering. Her passion was to care for the sick and elderly from a young age. She did this for several years while also providing care and comfort to her own mother and father.
Linda loved music and dancing. She talked many times about how her parents met at the Denver Dance Academy in 1944. This influenced her and her sisters love for music. Linda enjoyed being with family and friends, celebrating birthdays, weddings, BBQ's and family gatherings. She liked the Flea Market and Antique Stores and window shopping. She also enjoyed reading.

Linda was very close to all of her family, cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents and family out of state.
The little story that I would like to share about my sister is during Christmas of 1952. Our aunt Marie took Linda to see Santa Claus and he asked her what she wanted for Christmas. Linda stated that she wanted a baby sister and a pony. My Aunt Marie shook her head yes to Santa and he told her he would do his best.
I was born January 6, 1953 , so I guess she got one wish. I wonder if she ever wanted to send me back.
In March of 1974 Linda's nephew Phillip was born. She was so proud of him and loved him.
Linda was not only my sister but she was my heart. She was a precious lady who was loved by so many.
Linda had a love and passion for animals of all kind. She made it her life long duty to care, nurture for any animal. Linda was a dog lover including her current dog Ginger who she would dearly miss.
