Linda enjoyed life, from the very simple beauty of mother nature, her flowers, gardens, the deer, squirrels and of course her birds, especially cardinals. Fishing with her family baiting the lines using paper towels around the worms! Crocheting for family and friends, but most of all, she so loved being Mom, Grandma and “NeNe” to her family!

Her family includes her daughter and son-in-law, Diane and Don Kennelly; 2 granddaughters and their husbands, Kristen and James Hunsaker, and Brittany and Rick Simpson; great-grandchildren, Adelie, Zoey, Madeline, Archor and Skarlit; siblings, Lesta Jean Berry (Bill) and John Gafeller; sister-in-law, Penny Gafeller; and Linda’s loving companion for the past 11 years, Ron Reicks.
