A devout Catholic, Linda lived a life of faith, love, and service, always guided by the teachings of Christ She was one of the kindest, most caring people you would ever meet.

They would have celebrated 45 years of marriage on March 5.  Known for her unwavering kindness, compassion, and generosity, Linda was a dedicated member of St. Ignatius Loyola Roman Catholic Church, where she made many great friends, and found true joy in prayer, service, and the church community.                                                              

     Linda considered herself a “Cradle Catholic”, faithfully saying her prayers and the rosary daily.  As a Eucharistic Minister, she distributed Holy Communion in the church, at area nursing homes, and wherever needed in the community.  Linda lived out her faith through acts of charity, always offering a helping hand and a listening ear to those in need.
