My heartfelt sympathies to all of Linda's family. It was through our high school reunions vs our high school days that I got to know Linda more - a very loving, optimistic, outgoing, talented gal and that beautiful smile!! I always looked forward to seeing her at reunion meetings and in recent years, our high school girls' luncheons. She will be greatly missed......❤️. God's peace and love to all.
My sincere condolences to Linda's family and all who knew her. Along with many others, I shared many special times with Linda and she was a delight to know. She was truly a special friend. We will all miss her dearly. I was lucky enough to spend the very last evening with her before she became ill following her vaccine. I am so sorry for your extreme loss. It was way too early for her to leave all of us.
Linda and I were very close friends and inseparable throughout elementary and high school days especially. What I loved most about Linda is that she was a free spirit and her passion for discovering talents she never knew she possessed. She would share those talents through her creative energy bringing joy not only to herself, but to many others. And yes, her radiant smile lit up the room the minute she entered because she loved people and was eager to make everyone her friend. She leaves a beautiful legacy to her family and the world through her creative works of art and her ability to capture the hearts of those fortunate enough to have had her in their lives. Linda. A "sparkling jewel. "A radiant bouquet"
The World lost a good one. I knew Linda since about age 4 as we grew up within a block of each other on Frances ST. We were friends to this day. Linda was a bright light to us with a great smile. A fun person always. I will miss her especially at the Alumni gatherings. I will love you And pray for you every Day. Tom T.
What i remember of linda. She had a kind heart, beautiful talents, so gifted. Willing to help. I definitely enjoyed our time walking all around Appleton and site seeing wherever we went. We always would laugh and talk about everything. Every time I'd come over, she always had a project going on. I was always amazed. Her house smelled wonderful with the fragrance of her soaps. Of course her cats were there to. But that beautiful smile! God took her home to be with him and her family.
My memories of Linda have floated in and out of our lives since the 60's when she and her children used to come through my check out line at the Piggly Wiggly on Outagamie street in Appleton. She was married to one of my classmate's brothers and lived in the neighborhood. Years went by and Linda and I crossed paths making soaps, ballroom dancing, living in the same neighborhood, zumba and most recently art. We were supposed to meet up mid April and talk about our newly discovered passion for creating art. Her sudden passing shocked and saddened me. She had such a beautiful essence. She was always smiling and interested in talking about a huge range of subjects. Today I drove by her house and a wave of sadness came over me. She was unique, beautiful, caring, kind and I will miss her.
