Linda loved to dance; she knew and had all the right moves. She was independent, outgoing, and the life of every party. Linda’s laugh was contagious, when mom laughed the world laughed with her. Mom just had a beautiful way with people. Linda loved spending time with her grandkids, they were always in PJ’s jumping on the bed with Grandma, singing look at all these monkey’s jumpin on the bed! We could never tell who enjoyed it more the kids, or Grandma ! Linda also belonged to the Red Hat Society, River Rockin Rowdies, where she held the tiltle of Queen. She enjoyed the ladies and loved each and every one of them. Linda and Steve were also members of the Twin Falls Bluebirds, Good Sam Club where Linda served at Secretary of Treasure.
