Nursing was Linda's love throughout her life, starting out as a volunteer at a Cleveland nursing home in high school. The uniforms were dresses with red and white stripes.

Linda worked as an RN in med-surg at Mercy Hospital in Chicago, Ohio State University Hospital, Porter Kiehnau Home Health in Sturgeon Bay, and the Kewaunee nursing home.

Linda loved traveling, working outdoors, and driving to Door County for the Fall colors. Her greatest love was spending time with her family.

The family would like to express their gratitude to all the wonderful caregivers at Kewaunee Health Services for the excellent care they gave Linda over the last seven years.
