Linda was a long-time member of the Church of the Incarnation in Dallas, TX. She loved the traditional service and often attended evenings.

Linda was able to visit with her friends one last time and discuss Christmas plans.

She loved books and reading. Linda enjoyed and was knowledgeable about ballet, opera, renaissance music, ice skating, and gymnastics. Linda loved animals, especially cats, and cared for every kind of animal that visited her backyard.

She was a loyal and loving friend who was generous in giving and supported many animal welfare programs. She didn’t neglect to help the underserved members of our community and faithfully prayed for them.
