Linda worked at various jobs, including a variety of Human Services jobs, a stint at Jennie-O-Foods for 12 years, as secretary for Ostbye & Anderson in Minneapolis, and spent many years taking care of her mother Lavina.

West Bank Lutheran Church was Linda’s haven until it closed in 1995. She enjoyed softball, was an avid reader, loved jigsaw puzzles and playing cards.

May we always remember Linda’s LOVE of fishing! She spent hundreds of hours fishing in the Chippewa River and on Lake Minnewaska. She often bragged she caught the largest walleye’s.
