She was predeceased by her parents, John and Johanna Visser and nephew John Jr., with whom she had a close bond.

Linda was a devoted and committed Mom and foster Mom to many young children, especially babies. She fostered for about forty years including failure-to-thrive young ones.

Linda loved horseback riding while growing up on the farm near Neerlandia.
