Linda also had 8 Grandchildren: Tyler, LeAndre’, Malique, Kassandra (Kyle), Kamryn, Owen, Kara and Sophia. Grandma would also be proud to know her first great-granddaughter, Mila Erin (Kassandra & Kyle Watson) is due in February. Music brought great joy to Linda throughout her lifetime. She learned to play the piano at a very young age and her gifts and talents were evident throughout her life. Nothing brought her greater joy than to share her gift of music with her kids and every other person she came to know. Later in life, Linda began as a private piano teacher, where she had the opportunity pass on her musical gifts to countless individuals. Over the years, she taught hundreds of piano students the art of playing the piano and her joy for music was passed on to many children and adults alike.
