Linda will be remembered for her loving kindness. As a long-time volunteer for the Olin Food Pantry, she always made sure everyone had what they needed even if it met giving of her own. She enjoyed playing bingo, trips to the casino, and sleepovers with Hale. Linda loved to crochet afghans and make tie blankets for her family and friends. She will be greatly missed. She enjoyed each and every one of her grandkids and the time she was able to spend with them. At a drop of a hat, she would go and pick up Chyanne and Hale from school. Linda and her BFF, Teresa, would party like rock stars. She got her first tattoo on her butt with Teresa. It was part of her club. She was preceded in death by her father, Edwin; brother, David Kray; and granddaughter, Ashley Lynn Klever. Memorials may be directed to her family.
