She was raised in Medford, where she graduated from Medford High School with the Class of 1982.
Following her graduation, Linda continued her education earning her Bachelor's Degree in Communications from Emerson College in 1986.
As a young woman living close to Boston, she looked forward to her weekends, where she enjoyed dancing with her friends in one of the many nightclubs including Il Panino, The Palace and Avalon among others.

Linda and Michael shared a passion for travel and enjoyed trips to the Caribbean.
Back home, as an avid beach goer, Linda would treat herself to numerous day trips to her favorite north shore beaches - Good Harbor and Wingarsheek - that she frequented in her younger years.
She had an admirable interest and care for animals and nature as reflected in her generous donations throughout her life.
When relaxing at home, Linda would never miss any of her favorite tv series, Mad Men and Downton Abbey.
