Linda showed great love and dedication to her children, family and pets. Visiting and brightening the day of several who are no longer with us and many who are. As a talented gardener, she tenderly cultivated beautiful plants and flowers in her own back yard, winning city recognition for her personal landscape design.

She truly loved the outdoors and made regular trips with her husband to their lake retreat for long week-ends of paddle boat rides near the turtles and eagles, quiet walks with her dog Baughb, socializing with neighbors at pot lucks, hosting bonfires and just quietly reading under the pine trees. She equally enjoyed cooking and eating, a real foodie, creating delicious dishes with no need for recipes, as well as dining out with family and friends at any opportunity.

The family will be honoring her in memory in a private gathering, memorials preferred to the Park Nicollet Jane Brattain Breast center.' '
