Linda worked as an elementary school teacher in the San Antonio area and Lometa for 30 years. She loved meeting new people and socializing with friends. After retiring from teaching, it wasn’t long before she was back at work at the Bluffton Post Office. When she wasn’t chatting with neighbors at work or making new friends in town, Linda often could be found at the Bluffton store, scratching away at lottery tickets. Linda enjoyed keeping in touch with other teachers as a member of the Lampasas County Retired Teachers’ Association. Her big heart, independent spirit and bright smile will be missed by all who knew her.
Linda is survived by her husband, Ron; two stepdaughters, Kim Diefenthaler and husband Tim and Tracy Berg and husband David; three step-grandchildren, Kylie, Dylan and Evan; mother, Elizabeth Roberts; brother, Harvey Roberts and wife Susan; nieces and nephews; and the rest of her family and friends.
