Linda was preceded in death by her parents, her parents-in-law, Robert Rodney and Anna May Blough of Danville, and her son-in-law, Walt Overcast, of Murfreesboro, TN.

Linda lived in the home she was raised in and called Tilton her home almost her entire life. She loved her family, reading, watching movies and doing yard work. She rescued every cat that came to her door and spoiled the four that owned her. When her daughter Sherry moved home from Tennessee after her husband passed away, the two of them went to rummage sales, shopping at Goodwill, the Covered Bridge Festival, grandkids events, and enjoyed every minute. Their favorite stop was Steak n Shake for hot fudge sundaes. You may recognize Linda from the information desk at United Samaritans Medical Center, where she worked until her retirement.
