She is survived by her loving husband of 60 years, Gary BONNETT; daughter, Sherry GLANCY (Rick) of Palm City; son, Jeff BONNETT (Kathy) of Texas; 4 grandchildren, Megan MUIR (Billy) of Melbourne, Sheena STANFIELD (James) of Palm Bay, Scott GLANCY of Melbourne, and Tony BONNETT (Candace) of South Carolina; 3 great-grandchildren Emmy Lou, Loghan, and Luke STANFIELD of Palm Bay, and a sister, Marty CHARLES of Iowa.

Surviving extended family includes sisters-in-law, Judy LAURITSEN (Lynn), Janine PATTON, and Claudia GENKINGER (Larry); brothers-in-law Lee HERDMAN and Terry BONNETT; as well as many nieces and nephews.

Linda was born in Washington, Iowa and grew up on a farm outside of Fairfield, Iowa. She married her high school sweetheart, Gary, on Aug. 28, 1957. Gary and Linda shared many adventures together including running two successful businesses, Scotti's Drive-in in Fairfield, Iowa and Napa Augo Parts in Stuart and Fort Pierce, FL. They moved to Florida in 1974 piloting down the Misissippi River on their boat, the Linde Belle.

Upon retirement, they became full-time RV'ers. Gary and Linda traveled to Alaska many times, as well as Mexico, Canada, and every state except Vermont. They spent a lot of time in Golden, CO where they worked at the Dakota Ridge RV Park. They enjoyed four-wheeling in their Jeep in the mountains of Colorado, and exploring the wildlife and beautiful scenery. Linda was a talented photographer, capturing their many adventures. Her beloved cats, Zoey and Zipper, will keep Gary company.

According to Linda's wishes, there will be a private burial at Forest Hills in Palm City, FL on April 1, 2017 11:00am. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Treasure Coast Hospice in her name.
