After high-school Linda worked several jobs throughout her lifetime of which a few included gathering eggs at the family farm, delivering newspapers, working as a waitress, clerical work for an optometrist, an aide at the State Hospital, and Walmart Deli Supervisor,  & the cutest little security guard Comanche Red River casino ever had. Although her work history provides a glance at her dedication, hard work ethic and versatility, Linda's true passion and joy in life was being the matriarch of her family. The love and devotion she had for her husband, children, grandchildren and family had no limits. It didn't matter if she was playing cards, camping, fishing, bowling, going out to order a catfish plate at her favorite restaurant, Pioneer #3 or simply sitting at home and watching the game show network as long as it was with family. Linda would give or do anything for her family to make sure they had everything they needed. She supported them all through the many passions and difficulties of their lives. Her kindness and selflessness impacted all of her family members in a way that will last a lifetime. She will be greatly missed.
