Linda lived in Clarksville, IA, most of her adult life. She was employed as a cashier at Regal Liquor for several years. She retired from her position to care for her aging parents until their death. She enjoyed reading, watching the Green Bay Packers play football on Sundays and spending time with her 3 grandchildren. She loved her pets, always keeping at least one or two cats as her companions. She was very proud of her impressive owl collection of 40+ years.  She lived with her son for a year in Atlanta, GA and later moved to Rochester, MN with her sister Lisa Strom until she passed.  She had an active social life and many friends. She touched the hearts of almost everyone that she met with her positive and welcoming spirit. She was very loved and will be missed.

She is survived by her only child, Damion Strom (LaToya) of Atlanta, GA; 3 granddaughters: Genesis (21), Dai (14) and London (13); two sisters: Debbie Smith (Walter) of Ames, IA, and Lisa Strom of Rochester, MN.
