Linda was born on Jan. 6, 1948, to Charles "Emery" and Betty Conrad. She grew up in Woodhull. After graduating from Alwood High School, Linda attended beauty school. She then owned and operated her own beauty salon.

Blessed with four children, Brynn, Todd, Tara and Michael, the family ultimately settled in Moline, in 1974. Linda was very active in her childrens' school, including the PTA. She was also a member of PEO and volunteered at the hospital for many years. Linda loved spending quality time with her family and friends. One of her favorite pastimes included attending various sporting events and functions of her children and grandchildren. She was very social, enjoying her morning coffee girls and weekly dinners with close friends. Linda was best known for her grace, generosity and elegance.
Linda is survived by her husband, John; mother, Betty Conrad; children and their spouses, Brian and Brynn Pauwels, Moline, Todd and Stephanie Hoffstatter, Moline, Jamie and Tara Hurtado, Phoenix, Ariz., and Michael Hoffstatter, Rock Island.
