Linda was a faithful member of Holy Temple C.O.G.I.C., under the leadership of her brother Supt. Leslie Fields Jr. She served faithfully in many offices. Linda was a woman with wisdom.

She was an interior decorator and a floral designer.
Linda was a special, remarkable woman. She touched so many people’s lives. She would help anyone who needed her. She delivered charity community boxes to whoever needed her to. She also would give anyone a ride wherever they needed to go.
