Linda also loved the artwork of Eldridge Bagley, and she supported the Virginia Musuem of Fine Arts. Linda was a compassionate animal lover, especially of cats and dogs. She loved trivia and was a devoted fan of JEOPARDY and WHEEL OF FORTUNE.  Linda was a member of several organizations and served in different capacities with clubs such as the Crewe Garden Club and the DAR. She deeply loved her family members and made them a priority throughout her life, and she never failed to support or care for a sick friend. She leaves behind a large extended family and numerous dear friends; she will be sorely missed by all who knew her.
