Linda was born in Barberton, OH on December 16, 1963. She graduated from Barberton High school with a license in cosmetology. Linda had an appreciation for the beauty of nature and enjoyed taking her boys to parks when they were younger and treating them to Durbin's ice cream afterward. She also had a passion for Harley Davidson motorcycles, and the thrill of riding was close to her heart. She had a fondness for watching 'Forensic Files' and 'Jerry Springer,' finding intrigue and entertainment in these shows. One of her favorite places to be was the beach, where she found peace and serenity. She always spoke about her trip to Hawaii, and if it wasn't for her boys back home, she would have never come back. Her greatest joy, and what she was most proud of, was being a grandmother. Her love for her grandchildren was a source of constant happiness in her life. The love she had for those dearest to her touched the deepest parts of their hearts, and she'll hold a special place there, forever.
