She married Michael Dunn and together they raised their daughters in Daytona and Ormand Beach FL. When her girls were grown, she returned to school and obtained her Masters Degree in Social Work (MSW). Her wanderlust was satisfied by work on the Island of Okinawa for two years and in Germany for one year both while subcontracting for the United States Government. These jobs gave her the opportunity to tour in China, Japan and all over Europe, living with her sister, Carol Laferriere between assignments. Linda also worked to the State of CT as well as a short stint at John Hopkins in Bethesda Maryland where her symptoms overtook her energy and then she subsequently "retired".
