From then on, she lived to tell others of Jesus’ love. When she moved back to MA, she became a devoted member of Grace Chapel in Lexington, and when she moved to Leominster, after marrying her David, she became very involved with the ministries of Trinity Church Congregational in Bolton. She helped lead women’s Bible studies and was known for the way she made everyone feel special.
Linda loved her nieces and nephews and had many sleepovers spoiling them rotten. Her love for the ocean kept her vacationing on the coasts of Maine and New Hampshire for many years. There wasn't a bigger Patriots fan than Linda. She so loved all her Boston teams. She was a loving sister and Aunt.
