She married Calvin Louis Bentley Jr. , February 13, 1960 who preceded her in death in 2010. Calvin and Linda lived in Maricopa, Arizona where they lived and raised their family for 48 years.
Linda helped her husband test milk from local dairies and worked at a variety of places throughout the years; including the Vekol Commissary, Bapchule Trading Post and ultimately retired from UPS after 17 years.

Aunt Linda will be so missed. She was the sweetest, kindest lady. We all loved her so much. With sincerest sympathy, Penny and Riley.
Donnie and I are truly heartbroken. Donnie loved her as not only a co- worker, but as a very dear friend. She was one in a million for sure. Heaven is lucky to have this special lady. We all on earth were certainly blessed. Thoughts and prayers going out to the family.
Our family is so sad that we live so far away and cannot be there to support your family through this. Please know that we feel blessed to have known Linda. We are sending big hugs and prayers. Mark and Traci, we love you!
