On April 19, 2002, Linda married Robert ‘Dago’ Yarbrough at their home in Mt. Enterprise, marking the beginning of a beautiful journey together. Linda was a woman who cherished her family above all else. She enjoyed reading and traveling, but her favorite pastime was spending time with her loved ones.
