Linda was born on October 30, 1956 in Cincinnati, OH , the youngest of 5 children born to Joseph Paul and Fannie Lucas.
She grew up in Ohio and moved to Bixby, OK as a teenager to live with her sister, Lois. She resided in the Bixby area most of her adult life.

She then began a career working the cafeteria for Bixby Public Schools until her retirement in 1990 due to disabilities from back surgeries. Linda was blessed with two daughters and had a special bond with both of them. She could often be heard saying how proud she was of her daughter, Lisa for the life she had made for herself.
Her daughter, Jennifer was her who she called "sissy" and lived with Linda for most of her adulthood. Linda loved cats and always had one, or a few. Her favorite actor was John Travolta and she was always watching the movie, "Pulp Fiction", rewinding it to the part of John Travolta dancing. She loved anything to do with history and enjoyed watching country music videos.
