Linda was a loving mother, sister and grandmother. She was an avid gardener and she loved to share what she grew with family and friends. If you were lucky enough to receive and enjoy Linda’s baked goods, you understood the joy she had for baking, cooking, and sharing with everyone. You could always count on driving by Linda’s house to see her sitting at the table looking out the picture window, enjoying her coffee. She enjoyed having visitors and socializing. Her grandchildren had a special place in her heart, and she loved spending time with them.

She is survived by her son, Tyler (Aimee) Todd of Chadwick, sister Janet Koett of Milledgeville, and three grandchildren, Nataleigh, Blake, and Tyson. She was preceded in death by her parents, Alfred and Marie, brothers Lyle and Arnold Habben.
