She grew up in Mason and McCulloch Counties and graduated from Rochelle High School in 1959. She attended one year of business school and obtained her real estate license.
She married John Lloyd Blauvelt in June of 1960 in Cranfills Gap, Texas.
Linda had a passion for fashion and style. She owned and operated Merle Norman Cosmetics and Clothing Store in Brady for 30 years and for many years donated her time and cosmetology skills to the contestants of the Miss Heart of Texas Pageant.

She had a close-knit group of friends who were not afraid to take their heels off & run a foot race at G. Rollie White Race Track. (Linda won the race!) Linda was an accomplished chef, enjoyed ranching with her husband, loved animals, antiques, and gardening.
