Linda was employed at the Penn State Book Store in Human Resources and was a member of the Mount Nittany United Methodist Church in Lemont.
Linda devoted her life to taking care of her family. Theodore passed away when the children were very young. Linda worked to provide financial stability. She spent her free time at home making sure the kids knew they were loved and secure. She provided a model of faith through regular church attendance, prayer, and daily devotions. Any extra time was devoted to caring for her aging relatives.
Although Linda did not have time for serious hobbies, she did have a strong appreciation for dogs. The family was never without a beloved pet and Linda took comfort in having them close by her side.
