Linda has been married to her husband Mark for 48 years, and has three grown children and their spouses and nine grandchildren ranging in age from 7 to 21. She attended Indiana University and worked as secretary at Cumberland UMC for 6 years before being hired at LUMC in 1990. Her passions are serving in ministry, volunteering, traveling, enjoying nature, and being a wife, mother and grandma.

It is with great privilege that I have served in Ministry and Outreach for over 20 years.  My family has been in fellowship with Lawrence United Methodist Church for the last 10 years.  I am a Special Education teacher with a passion for teaching.  I attended Indiana Wesleyan University and received a Bachelor’s and then attended Butler University in Indianapolis and received Special Education Licensure.

I enjoy reading and spending time with my children and family.
