She loved cheering on her Ohio Buckeyes and the halftime show with “Script OHIO” and was often wearing her favorite color, red, in support. Linda enjoyed keeping up with her classmates from Bay Village High School, in Cleveland, OH, Class of 1960 and always looked forward the reunions with her friends.
