Linda was born March 10, 1951 in Greenville, Ohio to the late Bobby and Elcie (Small) Anthony.
Linda loved making people happy. During her 12 years working at Weimer Electronics, she met a lot of people and enjoyed talking and helping them. She then went to work for Dr. Vallo & Fisher Optical in Greenville and an assistant and remained for 11 years. She loved the people she worked with and the patients she cared for. Linda then discovered Tupperware after going to a Tupperware party and she we hooked. Rick always supported her in this endeavor and she was able to earn many trips. She eventually moved up the Tupperware ladder to become Director with 20 representatives under her. Linda was a strong and reliable person, a devoted wife, a caring and loving mother and grandmother. She has touched many lives and was always grateful for those who touched hers.
