One of Linda’s greatest loves in life was being a grandmother to her six grandchildren. Through her devotion to them, she created wonderful relationships and lasting memories.

She was involved in various marriage enrichment programs as well as over 35 years in the Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults, both at the local parish level and as a team member of the national organization “The North American Forum on the Catechumenate”.
