She was a member of the Denfeld class of '63 reunion committee, 40 year member of 'Club' with all her long time dear friends, a member of 'Linda Club' with many Linda's as members. She was always doing something nice for someone and always thinking of her family and friends. She blessed us with her bright smile and loving, caring soul.

Linda is survived by her mother, Katherine E. Engel; sons, Robert (Char) Hampston and John Hampston; sister, Laurie (Mark Sinclair) Clancey; her longtime friend Kathy McKeever; many extended family members and friends as well as her beloved cat 'Lucy'.
