Linda is the Congregation Engagement Director which means she engages with people of ALL ages! She joined the Good Shepherd staff in September 2003 as the Youth & Family Ministries Director and then moved on to her current role in August 2019.

Her role expands into many areas as she connects with several groups in the congregation—baptisms, weddings, funerals, new member classes, adult ministry, and men’s ministry. Linda also works with many groups in our community to provide them with a welcoming presence as they enter our doors.  

Linda is married to Don (38 years), and they have one daughter, Kari, who is married to Derek Remmick. Don and Linda have two granddaughters, Charlee (7) and Stella (4). They love visiting Good Shepherd and participating in VBS every summer!
