A fierce supporter of her son, Jeff Kasza Jr., Linda nurtured his adventurous spirit from an early age. She allowed him the freedom to embrace his love for animals, even letting him own anything from alligators to iguanas. Her adventurous nature was evident as she took Jeff on memorable escapades, including his first helicopter ride at the young age of 21, which sparked a lifelong passion for him becoming a helicopter pilot She was his biggest fan at all his BMX races, making memories driving her caravan to haul all his friends in and being there to support him.

Linda’s adventurous spirit also led her to travel experiences like go-karting in Mexico and zipping through the treetops on ziplines—moments she cherished with her family deeply. Every Mother's Day, she created joyful traditions with her son, brewery hopping or winery hopping, celebrating their bond over good times and laughter.

Linda's role as a grandmother to her amazing grandson, Max Kasza, was undoubtedly one of her proudest accomplishments. She lovingly referred to him as her "little buddy" and ensured she never missed any of his sporting events, cheering him on with unwavering pride. Linda would do anything for her family, gladly sacrificing anything for them throughout her life. Her love for Max radiated every day as he was her beaming joy, and in her eyes, he could do no harm.

While happily embracing the roles of mother and grandmother, Linda also was a nurturing and caring second mom to all of her son's friends. With her generous heart and vibrant spirit, she brought joy and warmth to all who had the privilege of knowing her.
