She married Paul E. Talbot on June 4, 1966, in Elko, Nevada.
Linda was raised in Ogden, Utah; She attended Ogden High and Stevens Henager College.
Paul and Linda met on a blind date. After a brief courtship, they eloped. She always described their relationship as being "Sympatico".
They had two daughters: Shaunna and Brenda. Shaunna was born with a disability but was raised without one. Linda made sure Shaunna was afforded all opportunities available to her.
Linda worked at The Blue Onion as a carhop, the IRS, and Hill Air Force Base. While on base, she ran many fundraisers to help those in need. Focusing greatly on the Sub for Santa program. She received many awards for her cost savings and efficiency ideas. She retired from the Base after 22 years.
