Linda spent her career as an educator with Jasper R-5 schools, shaping young minds with care and commitment until her retirement in 2005. She will be remembered as a devoted wife, a loving mother, a doting granny, and a steadfast friend.

She is survived by her children, Rio (Kelsi) Gardner of Pittsburg, Kansas, and Rebekah (Brandon) Weis of Lamar, Missouri; her treasured grandson, Harold Lee Gardner; and her brother, Andy (Mary Jo) Timmons of Benton, Illinois.

Linda was preceded in death by her parents and her husband, Dennis, whose love she carried with her always.
