Linda had an almost lifelong association with Duck Lake starting at age five and becoming a permanent resident over 50 years ago. She relished the changing seasons at the lake and the beauty each provided. Linda was known for her beautiful smile and giving heart. She engaged everyone with compassion and understanding.
