Linda worked for about ten years as an English teacher in Chicago’s Audy Home and Kennedy High School, where she met her husband. Treasuring family, she became a stay-at-home mom. Over the years, she became very involved with her children’s schools including several terms as President of the Parent Teacher Association. In her later years, she returned to work at the Oak Lawn Public Library. Linda’s hobbies included reading, sewing, drawing, gardening, doing puzzles, watching animal documentaries and movies, going on drives, and traveling. Bowling and Bingo became beloved activities as well. She also loved to cook and bake for family and friends. Her apple slices were always a hit at bake sales and chocolate cake at birthdays was a long tradition. She loved spending time with her grandchildren, whether it was reading, baking, babysitting, or watching their musical performances. She was known as a sweet lady by all who knew her.
