Linda lived a life of many passions. Her love of children led her into a career of childcare. She spent many happy years working at the Flying Goose in Cortlandt Manor nurturing hundreds of children. She was known for her love of dancing and music, especially Elvis , reading mystery books, walking on the beach and spending holidays with her family and friends, including her lifelong best friend, Maryanne, of Florida and her boyfriend, Tommy, of Mahopac, who has been her guardian angel through her difficult journey. She will be remembered for her smile, laughter, kindness, warmth, loyalty and fierce protectiveness of her family.

The family will be forever grateful to the Putnam County Senior Services, Hospice Care in Westchester and Putnam, Mary Farkas, LCAT, and the Calvary Hospital. Due to COVID there are no services at this time. There will be a memorial planned in the future.
