She graduated from Regis High School in Cedar Rapids, and went on to attend Kirkwood Community College in Cedar Rapids. Linda married Roy Rhodes on May 8, 1982, in Cedar Rapids. Her greatest joy was spending time with her family. She enjoyed baking, yard work, and making a good frosted meatloaf or mac and cheese for them.
