She became active in Strongsville City School District’s PTA and served several years as president. After her three children graduated high school, Linda embarked on a decades long career at Strongsville High School serving as study hall monitor and building aide. She loved nature and animals, especially her family dogs Penny and Muffin (both deceased); grand dogs Benji, Faith, Sasha (all deceased), and Cookie; and adopted grand dog, Bubbles.
