Linda was born on May 3,1951 in Washington, Iowa to Harley and Norma Cole. She grew up in Washington and later relocated to Fairfield, Iowa where she graduated from high school in 1970.After graduation, Linda attended Parsons College. She was very active in the Fairfield Bowling League and in the Parks and Recreation sports leagues. Linda worked several years for the Community Childcare Center and made many friends there. Her career eventually brought her to Chappell Studios where they created graduation and marathon photography. Her dedication and attention to detail made her one of their most valued employees. Eventually she moved on to several different jobs in the Fairfield area. The most valued thing in Linda’s life, besides her family and friends, was her love for animals. No animal had to go without a roof over its head if Linda could help it. She was a real life Dr. Doolittle.
