Linda was a devoted wife, mother, Nana, Gigi, and friend to many. She loved spending time with her family, playing with her great-grandbabies, watching her hummingbirds, and quilting. She would often be found working in her flowerbeds or riding the great-grandchildren around the yard to look for bird nests. Her favorite family tradition was making Christmas cookies with all her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Her smile could light up any room, and her laughter was contagious.

Preceded in Death Her father, Benjamin Pola Hamilton, and her mother, Geneva Miller.
