Lintner, Linda

Linda Lintner was born March 27, 1944 in North Carolina. The daughter of a soldier, she and her mother traveled from North Carolina to Overton, Nevada to stay with Lintner’s grandparents when she was only six weeks old. After her father joined the family, they moved to Las Vegas, Nevada where both her mother and father started working at the Post Office. Lintner attended local elementary school and middle schools in the valley, and graduated from Rancho High School in 1962.

Lintner embarked on an almost decade long, round-the-world sailing journey with her second husband, starting in 1986. In the course of the decade, she became a qualified diver and expert sailor. She also developed a lasting appreciation for the world and its oceans. Since their return, Lintner kept busy volunteering many hours with local veterans’ homes and the church.
