She also volunteered in the library at Mountsfield for over 20 years, including several years after her retirement.
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 was also known for her epic poems written for family and friends on the occasions of their milestone birthdays or retirements. 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.
