She worked on many important government programs throughout those years, retiring in 1999. She enjoyed many domestic trips with Tom. Linda also enjoyed cooking for her family on the holidays. Christmas was very special to her, having her family share her cooking, music, gifts and fun stories. Her sisters and brothers, along with their mates made a habit of big parties at each other’s houses too. Linda is survived by her husband, Tom; her children, Christine (Steve) Ottoson and Chad (Darla) Gein; and grandson, Ashton; her brother, Allen (Linda) Howe; and many nieces and nephews. Also surviving are Tom’s children and grandchildren, Michael Lindgren, Ann (Brian) Friedman, and Joseph (Marie) Lindgren, and Alex (Jourdan), Megan, Andrew, William, Emma, Jonathon, and Jacob.
