Linda attended and furthered her education at Northeast Missouri State     University. Linda’s purpose and life passion was to help others. She established a wonderful and impactful career as a healthcare            professional, providing  patient centered care to every person she had the privilege to serve and support.  Linda united in holy matrimony to Ervin Boothe on March 27, 1977.

Linda held a special love for her family and friends. She enjoyed    hosting family holiday dinners and gatherings. She played the violin and enjoyed crafting as a way to relax. Linda was a life long learner and believed in the importance of education. She was an avid reader of all topics including biological sciences. Linda had a special interest and love for history, books, and articles related to eventful life moments.
