After earning her Master of Nursing Education degree and later achieving her Board Certified credentials, she then went on to oversee two nursing programs and became the President of the National League for Nursing in Oklahoma. After she retired as the Director of Clinical Education at Deaconess Hospital in 2015,
Linda enjoyed her travels around the world as well as spending time with David working on projects on their acreage while loving all their wild animals and being the best Nana to her grandchildren and their families.
