After graduating, Linda worked in St. Paul, MN at St. Paul Ramsey Hospital as an RN for a year prior to getting married. While living in Edmore, ND Linda worked as an industrial site nurse, in Langdon, ND until the completion of the ABM missile site. In 1973, Jim & Linda moved to Everett, WA where Linda worked as an RN at Everett General Hospital where both their children were born. Later she worked for Snohomish County Washington in public health. In 1979, Jim & Linda moved back to ND. Linda worked as the Dunn County Public Health nurse then became Director of Nursing at Hilltop Home of Comfort for approximately 22 years before retiring.  Being an RN was natural to her, taking care of people was an integral part of her.

Aside from family & friends, Linda loved three things: Shopping, Green Bay Packers and UND Fighting Sioux. Every year she attended UND hockey games even traveling to out of state games.

Linda’s two grandchildren, Morgan & Grady, were the most important people in her life. She would make it to every school and sports event possible.
