After they were married they moved to Angleton, TX where they built a house and she made it into a home where she would spend the rest of her life. They welcomed a daughter, Kellie, in 1979. Her and Marty loved to raise dogs, horses, donkeys, pigeons and goats. Linda was the perfect example of the Proverbs 31 woman. She was an excellent housekeeper, volunteered at Kellie's schools, taught Sunday School, directed VBS, and ministered to everyone she came in contact with. She loved taking care of her family and always put their needs above her own. She was known as Meme to her five grandchildren whom she loved, cherished, and was so proud of. She had a huge impact on raising them and shaping their lives. She taught them about God's love and forgiveness. She will always be remembered as a sweet, kind lady who served the Lord and loved serving others.
