Linda enjoyed spending time crocheting beautiful pieces and participating in friendly games of Bingo at the Lansdowne-Baltimore Highlands Senior Center.  She especially enjoyed reading and commenting on other peoples Facebook posts :)  And her special trip to Graceland as part of the Fabulous 4.  Her creativity shone through in everything she did, whether it was crafting intricate designs with yarn or eagerly waiting for the next bingo number to be called.  Linda Carol Schmidt will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her.  May she be remembered for her kindness, skill, and the warmth she brought into the lives of those around her.  Rest in peace, Linda.  Your legacy of beauty and joy will continue to live on in the hearts of many.
