In addition to Linda’s work, her passion was cooking (don’t skimp on the cheese, garlic or onions ever), enjoyed arts and crafts, taking pictures (of every single moment and made sure to get them printed as 5x7’s), good conversations with all her friends (you probably wouldn’t get a word in though), loved music, traveling, the beach, Lake Erie, dancing, margaritas and Cameo Pizza, she would always go over the top for birthdays and holidays, but most of all she enjoyed spending time with her grandchildren, children, family, and friends.
In keeping with Linda’s wishes, she will be cremated, and a Celebration of Life for Linda will be held July 7, 2023, from 5:30-9 p.m. at the Fraternal Order of Eagles in Sidney, Ohio.
