Biographical Information:
   Linda was a graduate of Monticello High School of Monticello, Indiana, and Porter Business College of Indianapolis, Indiana. She worked for Twin Lakes School Corporation of Monticello, Indiana, for 39 years, first as a secretary at former Woodlawn Elementary and then moving to the administrative building to be the executive secretary under 4 different superintendents. Linda was a member of the Monticello Christian Church of Monticello, Indiana (and served faithfully the congregation of the church in several capacities) and was a member of the Psi Iota XI Sorority.  She enjoyed being at home, animals (especially her feline friends) , nature, her backyard birds and squirrels, reading, talk radio and the occasional caramel macchiato. While she especially loved her daughters and grandchildren, Linda’s greatest joy was being “Grammy” to her great grandchildren. They gave her so much love and laughter, and anything but a dull moment. She will be greatly missed and forever in our hearts.
