After raising her children, she went to work as a research analyst for Conoco. After retirement, they moved to the Normangee area where they enjoyed a country lifestyle.

Linda was kind, generous and devoted to her family and friends. She loved all animals and had many beloved dogs and cats throughout the years. She was an avid bowler and traveled extensively to participate in tournaments. She loved to gamble and never met a slot machine she did not want to defeat. She was as competitive as she was fun.
Linda was preceded in death by both of her parents; two brothers, Bill and Carey Presley.
