Linda was well loved by many and had a flair for making friends easily. She was always engaged with her friends and helping out wherever needed in regular times and times of crisis. Linda was also a great lover of art and fashion of all kinds. She was considered to be a great resource for home decorating and color advice as well as fashion advice. Her spaces always had a layered and complete décor with lots of color. She was always “put together” in her own fashion as well.

Linda had a latent talent for oil painting that she pursued in her middle years and created some very good still lifes and landscape paintings.

She was particularly proud of her time in the 1970’s working at Christ Hospital as a medical secretary for several well known physicians and surgeons. She kept relationships from that era of her life all the way through the rest of her life and remembered all of those connections fondly.

Her unencumbered attitude and positive energy drew people to her throughout her life. She will be missed by many.

Visitation will take place at Hodapp Home 7401 Vine St., Carthage, Monday, July 27th from 10:00AM until Funeral Service at 11:00AM. Internment will follow immediately after at St. Mary Cemetery, St. Bernard.
