Linda graduated from Evergreen High School in 1969.  Motivated to help others, she furthered her education to become a certified State Tested Nursing Assistant (STNA) and found her calling in caring for others at Whitehouse Country Manor. Her dedication to her work reflected her compassionate nature and desire to make a positive impact in the lives of those she cared for. She was very proud of her daughter and grandson who pursued careers in healthcare as well. 

Linda also worked at the Pilliod Cabinet Company and R&R Plastics.

In addition to her career, Linda cherished her family life and was an active member of the Metamora United Methodist Church, where she found community and friendship. Her hobbies included reading, sewing, and working on word search puzzles, which brought her joy and relaxation.

Linda leaves behind a legacy of love and support through her daughter, Sandra (Wyatt) Witt, and her grandson, Jordan Witt. She is also survived by her beloved mother, Erma Langenderfer, and her siblings: James (Nancy) Langenderfer, Jerome Langenderfer, Philip (Brenda) Langenderfer, and Douglas (Cathy) Langenderfer; along with many nieces and nephews and long time friend, Carol. A special thank you to Bert, Marsha and Connie for their love and support.
