A kind smile was never far from Lina’s face, she was known for having open arms and an open heart for all who knew her. In any situation, she always gave more of herself. Lina was full of faith and instilled that in others. She regularly attended Cross Connection Church in Bushnell, FL where she was an active member of their Ladies Bible Study Group.

Lina had a love and natural talent for crocheting. She loved to share her talent by making precious keepsakes for friends and family. Over the years, many babies have been wrapped in blankets filled with Lina’s love.

The majority of her career was spent working for Northside Mental Health, working in the accounts payable department for over 30 years.
