Linette shared her life with her community as a member of Myrtle Grove Presbyterian Church and the Presbytery of Tropical Florida in both committee and leadership roles. She served as Moderator of the Women Association, Treasurer, and Elder at Myrtle Grove Presbyterian Church. Her service to the Presbytery as a committee woman is notable throughout the Tropical Florida Presbytery, especially her work with the Committee on Ministry.

Linette also served the youth of Miami Gardens as part of the South Florida Council of the Boy Scouts of America. She was a Den Leader for Cub Scout Pack 235 and as scout parent for Boy Scout Troop 235 at Crestview Elementary School. Further serving her community, she was also a soror of Eta Phi Beta Incorporated, Alpha Gamma Chapter, whose motto, “Not for ourselves, but for others” was truly her mantra.

Linette’s work at the City of Miami Beach in the Finance Division and as office manager for the Miami Beach Convention Center for 30 years before retiring in 2019 was filled with the joy of making friends and challenging associates to make good life choices in all things.
