Linda Kay Moore was born November 20, 1959 in Spencer, Iowa, the daughter of Raymond Wayne Stevens and Phyllis Arlene (Young) Decker. She graduated in 1978 from Spencer High School. On July 11, 1987, Linda was united in marriage to James Myron Moore in Spencer, Iowa. She enjoyed several occupations serving the public, including: care facilities, public schools and waitressing. Linda loved gardening, bird watching and cooking. She combined her passion for the holidays and cooking to always make holidays extra special. Her love for the holidays and her creativity evolved into a business that allowed her to share her passion with others. Nothing meant more to Linda than her family. She demonstrated this by quitting outside jobs to care for her mother. Linda came into this world fighting for her life. Her precious life was cut short by lung cancer. During her last three years of her life, she renewed old friendships and started many new ones. She will be greatly missed by many.
