Linden was a devoted horse woman, acquiring her first horse at eleven years old. She progressed from GDRA horse events and playdays to an avid participant in NCHA. Linden worked at the City of Fort Worth as an environmental inspector then accepted a position at Mrs. Baird's Bakery in 1994. She continued employment after the change to Bimbo Bakeries USA.
When you die, it does not mean that you lose to cancer. You beat cancer by how you live.
God worked through Linden to inspire us and bless us. To honor her we can continue this inspiration by how we live and comfort others.
Linden was preceded in death by her father, Walter Reeves, Jr.
