Linda, known as "Mickey" to many, enjoyed life to the fullest. She enjoyed
reading, playing cards, and "googling" on her computer. She spent her
summer's camping at the Bayshore KOA Campground in Sandusky, so she could
spend time with her granddaughters watching them play softball and
volleyball. She made many great friends at the campground. She also loved
doing things with her longtime high school friends, Ustine, Maria, Gene,
Johnny, Sue and Scott. Mickey was an animal lover leaving behind her three
dogs and two cats.
