She was born August 3, 1941 to Russell and Naomi (Roberts) Davis in Three Rivers, MI. Linda was a graduate of Three Rivers High School and on April 24, 1960 she married James R. Brinkman in Three Rivers, MI and he survives.
Linda was a loving person that wanted to care for all the children in the world. She had a direct personality, but she was also very artistic. Linda had a passion for the arts whether it was drawing, painting, or woodworking she found her joy in all of it.
Linda would draw her art into the wood she would work with, James would cut and shape the wood, and then Linda would paint and turn the wood into beautiful pieces of art that were often admired by many.
She was an avid collector of angels and she thoroughly enjoyed doing yard work, but what she adored above all was the Christmas season and decorating. Linda was a dedicated wife, loving mother, cherished grandmother, beloved sister and friend that will be dearly missed.
In addition to her husband James, Linda leaves behind her children Kenneth (Rose) Brinkman of Rockton, WI, Douglas Brinkman of Detroit, MI, Lori Ann Brinkman of Coldwater, MI, Christopher (Sarah) Brinkman of Toledo, OH; her siblings Karen “Rusty”, Douglas Davis; her sister-in-law Wanda (Ron) Colpetsir, brother-in-laws Walter (Lori) Monroe Jr., John (Amanda) Monroe all of Bronson; her many loving grandchildren, great grandchildren, great-great grandchildren and several nieces and nephews.
