Born in High River, Alberta, Canada, Linda moved permanently to the United States to Macon, Georgia in 1954. She attended Cynthia Weir and Whittle Elementary Schools, and she graduated from McEvoy Girls High School in 1966. She attended The University of Georgia and Wesleyan College. She was primarily a stay-at-home mom and substitute teacher while her children were in school. She worked for J C Penney at the Macon Mall for 21 years and retired from State Bank after working there for three years. She spent many years volunteering at Tattnall Square Academy highlighted by her work with the Track and Field programs. One of her most cherished activities was working on and organizing class reunions for McEvoy and Willingham High Schools. Her bonds with her classmates lasted from elementary school until her passing. She was at her best when surrounded by her beloved Sisterhood of McEvoy Scotties.
