She was born on August 2, 1948, in Belleville, Illinois, the daughter of Laurence Henry and Sarah Jane (Chadwell) Krause.

Linda operated Linda’s School of Dance in Eureka in the 80s and 90s. She loved dancing and guided many youngsters in the art.

In 1997, she moved to Florida where she was a high school teacher. She later returned to Kansas in 2010, teaching at Haysville for 2 years and later South High School in Wichita before retiring in 2013. After her retirement she was busier than ever being a grandparent. These were the best years of her life.
