Throughout Linda’s life, she was known for her strong work ethics, morals, loyalty, and genuine love for the people around her. Although these qualities were exemplified in Linda, her most important passion was her family. Linda loved her family deeply, but her greatest pride and joy were her two children, Binky and Keeli. Linda enjoyed spending time with family and friends, going to the casinos, movies and restaurants with Chester, home cooked meals especially Binky’s grilled pork chops and green salad, and watching old television shows particularly western cowboy shows.
