Linda was a native of Iowa and had been a long-time resident of the coast. She was of the Baptist faith and she had worked many years as a seamstress.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Gradus and Cora Kuiper and one brother, Harley Kuiper.
Survivors include her three daughters, Pam Gibson, Lisa Thompson and Debbie L. Raffeo; two sons, Brian K. Vander Pol and Brad Vander Pol; 13 grandchildren and 4 great-grandchildren; siblings, Nancy Brummel, Arthur Kuiper, Larry Kuiper and Marcia Riggen.
