She grew up among her large family including two siblings and many aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends. Growing up, she was an avid girl scout where she earned the rank of Curved Bar as an Intermediate Scout then went on to earn the senior Five-Point Pin and four senior Aide Bars in the Senior Scout program. While serving as the president of her Senior troop she was honored to be selected to represent her region at the All-States Encampment at Camp Timbertarn, Emigrant Gap, CA.

Linda graduated from St. Mary's Academy High School in Champlain, NY in 1965. After high school she attended Adirondack Community College where she met her husband Phil. She spent the next couple summers with her husband’s family on Long Island, NY, while she interned at Kings Park State Mental Institution and Northport Veterans Administration Psychiatric Hospital. In 1967 they moved to the Columbus, OH area to attend The Ohio State University where she continued to pursue Clinical Psychology. Linda and Phil put roots down in the Columbus area then married in 1969 and started a family.
