She is also survived by extended family and friends.

Linda was a social butterfly with a kind and welcoming smile. She delighted in singing, dancing, and playing bingo. She instilled the love of music in her children. Linda and her daughter enjoyed singing together while driving down country roads, visiting with friends, and at local open microphone nights. Linda was also an imaginative storyteller with a fervent zest for life.

Linda was well loved by many staff members at numerous nursing homes and care facilities. Cared for by many, Linda found ways to bring joy to others, and she will be missed. She was preceded in passing by her sister, Nyla Glover, brother, David Carr, and son, Benjamin Knowlton.
