Linda retired from Mead-Westvaco in 2004 after having worked for 26 years in the Distribution and Transportation Departments.

Linda was a devoted wife and mother who cherished spending time with her family. Linda loved to “go” and could be ready in a moments notice for shopping and luncheon dates. Linda loved traveling, especially her beach vacations, taking care of her home, spending time in her backyard gazebo/pool, tending her flowers and hosting many family picnics.

A heartfelt thank you also to special caregivers Anita Lupton and Kristi Williams while Linda was still in her home and the very caring staff of Garrett and Allegany County Hospice services.
