Linda married Alan Wayne Reid on February 8, 1969, in Zion Lutheran Church. Linda and Alan were residents of Brenham, where she was employed for nearly 40 years and retired from Dr. Chris McCarty's pediatric dentistry. Linda was a very active member of Grace Lutheran Church, where she was involved in numerous activities and committees, including the Ladies Afternoon Circle, the annual Turkey Supper, Vacation Bible School, and Grace Lutheran School art, among others. She enjoyed working in her flowerbeds and going to the Nancy Carol Roberts Memorial Library, as reading was a true joy for her.
