Linda married Larry on May 19, 1962 and lived on the family farm for 38 years. Larry’s hip problems forced the sale of the farm and they moved to Sierras Condo for three years. But they needed a place with a garden and more privacy. She worked for the county of Lethbridge as librarian for Coalhurst Elementary. Sang with Sweet Adelines chorus for 29 years. Served on many boards and groups that she thought she could help.
