Lynda graduated from Burlington High School and attended college at Neosho County Community College in Chanute. In her free time Lynda enjoyed reading, crocheting, and rescuing animals. She often was rescuing some wild creature that she had wondered across on one of her long walks. Generally, you could find her in her garden working, surrounded by her many cats and dogs. She had a very green thumb with any outdoor plants, but was often teased about her brown thumb with all house plants; as she couldn't keep a single one alive.
Cremation was requested and handled by Countryside Funeral Home in Chanute, Kansas.
