Linda and Jim were involved with playing their psalmodikon's with a group of 3 others performing at churches and a winery. The psalmodikon is a very simple one-stringed instrument which was frequently used in Norwegian churches in the early 1800's.

Linda attended church with Jim at the Grotto in Portland and volunteered. She was also a member of the Friends of the Grotto along with Jim.

Linda and Jim loved going to Arizona in the winter. They enjoyed taking long walks in the morning and square dancing twice a week. Linda enjoyed the sewing room and playing cards and board games as well as socializing with other retiree's.

Linda will be greatly missed by all.
