For many years, Linda exhibited her strong work ethic through her career at Kroger and Babies R Us, where she tirelessly served the public until her well-deserved retirement. Her professional life was only a fraction of her contributions to those around her; she was also a devoted family woman who prioritized her loved ones above all.

Linda found joy in life's simple pleasures. She cherished spending time with her family and friends, and her vibrant spirit shone through in everything she did. Her love for adventure was evident in her frequent casino trips, and she had a special affinity for bowling, proudly becoming a member of the 600 Club. Beyond her hobbies, Linda dedicated her time and energy to the growth and development of future generations through her roles as a leader of the Girl Scouts and den mother of the Boy Scouts.

Linda was also a proud grandmother to Kati (Brandon), Coty, Brandon, Ellen, Zachary, Daisie, Ryder, Lucas, Samantha, and Chester, and a great-grandmother to Andrianna, Araya, Brandon Jr., Amariana, Sharod, Anya, Jackson, and Jordan. Her love extended to her grandpups, Buddy, Bella, and Dimpy, who brought her endless joy. Linda shared an unbreakable bond with her best friend and sister since childhood, Rose Rardin, and had many special friends who enriched her life, including Shirley Rollins, Steve "Porky" (Maryann). She is also survived by her sisters-in-law, Frances (Randy) Botwright, Grace Botwright, her brother-in-law, Edward (Debra) Botwright, as well as a special adopted daughter, Ellen, and grandson, Randall. Linda was preceded in death by her parents and her son, Shannon Botwright.
