Linda's family was the center of her life, and she will be remembered by them for her love of books and reading, walking, gardening, and singing along with her CDs while cooking and baking in her kitchen. She loved many types of music ranging from Baroque to the Beach Boys, Motown and Broadway.

Linda and Greg enjoyed travelling with their family and watching Mark and Laura enjoy the beach in Rhode Island or a resort in Ontario. Her children and granddaughters brought great joy to her life. When Greg and Linda became empty nesters, they loved nothing more than viewing spectacular scenery, whether Yosemite National Park, Hawaii's verdant cliffs by helicopter, Outer Banks beaches, the Golden Gate Bridge, the magnificent Canadian Rockies or Alaskan glaciers. They marvelled at all these things together and never tired of each other's company. It was also Linda's great pleasure to hold dinner parties for friends. Her guests seemed to look forward in particular to her desserts. Linda may have been quiet and shy in groups, but many friends and strangers alike remarked upon her warm, sunny smile and good nature, especially throughout her many health problems. She always remained optimistic, hopeful, and courageous.

They created a warm and loving home in NE Portland, and they were married 53 years before he passed away. She was an excellent cook and seamstress. Most of her life she had either a dog or cat or a bird. She was very passionate about animals, spoiling them, even giving them one of her favorite foods, Bacon!
Florence was an avid volunteer for many causes. During WWll she volunteered in downtown Portland at the "Filter Center" helping to track potential dangers off the Oregon coastline. She was a champion of helping others who were in need and a friend to many. She was very active at Fremont United Methodist Church. From teaching Sunday school to organizing events through the women's group. She was a Campfire leader for her younger daughter and helped organize a Campfire leader's Bunco group that continues to meet. She volunteered for many years as a server for the Albertina Kerr restaurant, whose profits help children and adults.

Florence was always curious about the world and enjoyed camping and traveling. As a young woman she became a Mazama, by climbing Mt. Hood. She and Allen and family traveled to many sites in Oregon, Washington, and beyond. They created many wonderful memories together and with their children and grandchildren. There were annual trips to Neahkahnie beach, climbing sand dunes at Pacific City, exploring the High Desert, Steens mountains, just to name a very few. High on the list were the Elk hunting trips in the fall. Florence did not actually hunt but enjoyed the area, gathering huge Sugar Pinecones, admiring the golden Tamarack trees and enjoying the lake. She also enjoyed sitting around the campfire with grandkids and family on the chilly nights.
In retirement years she traveled to Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, Alaska, Niagara Falls by train, Hawaii, England on the QE2 as well as several trips to Canada.
