Linda stayed home with her children for many years until she decided to go to work at Interlake in Medical Lake, WA. Linda was a well loved and highly admired woman, not only by her family but at her place of work for her dedication to her job and also for the love she showed for her clients and co-workers. She worked for DSHS for 30+ years. Linda started at Interlake and worked there until closing, then transferred to Lakeland Village. She loved her clients and her many co-workers like her own family. She also enjoyed crafts such as beading and baking. She spent many hours preparing different bead work for craft fairs to raise money and also for family and friends. During the holidays everyone waited in anticipation for her candy and baked goods such as English toffee and biscotti. Another fun past time was going to the Casino which she did while in hospice as well. Linda was preceded in death by her Father and Mother Eldon and H. Elaine Engel.

 To be honest this hit me like a ton of bricks.  I had been in contact with Linda Jo through the years but as time went by we lost touch.  I had been trying to find her a few years, back but I never found her.

 I was so heart broken to hear she has passed. :(

Linda Jo was one of my close friends and she lived just down the street.  We had so many fun memories of getting into trouble and laughing till I wet my pants..(which was often)  

In the first grade we sat in this table together.  She started to make me laugh and right there I wet my pants.  Miss Morarity saw what happened and not to embarrass me more... she dismissed the class.  I ran home and changed my clothes.  Linda Jo thought it was funny...Oh I wish she were here so I could hear that laugh...she would just cracked you up with that laugh.

I will miss you my friend...
