Linda Reese
A Giving Heart
Linda Reese, one of the friendly faces at Baptist Homes of Adrian, was born on December 4, 1956, in Troy, New York. Over the years, life took her from the East Coast to the Midwest. First, to Kansas in the 1980s, and eventually she settled in Missouri to be closer to her daughter.
Linda and her husband, Floyd, have been married for 20 years. She is the proud mother of four children and has a big, loving family that includes 13 grandchildren. Linda has always had a caring heart—she worked for years as a nurse’s aide and CNA, helping others through her work. That same caring spirit still shines through today in the thoughtful ways she spends her time.
One of Linda’s favorite pastimes is making baby blankets; each one is made with a lot of love. She also enjoys doing puzzles, playing cards, and creating diamond dot art, a relaxing hobby that lets her creative side shine.
Although Linda was raised Catholic, she made a personal decision to be baptized in 2022. She first moved into a different care facility, but found it wasn’t quite what she was looking for. As soon as Baptist Homes of Adrian opened, she made the move and has loved being there.
She’s warm, welcoming, and always up for a chat. We’re grateful to have Linda as part of our community here at Baptist Homes.
