In 2000, Linda purchased a home next to her Mom and Dad in Loretto, and created The Hill House Bed & Breakfast. Linda and Dean were heavily involved in supporting many community activities including the annual "Ham Days Festival", always one of their favorites. In 2014 Linda purchased her childhood home and resided there until her death.
