Linda was born in Estherville Iowa and was the daughter of Gerald and Emma Richards.  Linda faithfully served in the ministry along with her husband and best friend, Pastor Donald Glazier, over sixty years, serving several Methodist churches within Iowa and Church of the King in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. She spent forty years faithfully and lovingly ministering to the prisoners at the Anamosa state prison. She also traveled to the Philippines, Central America, Jamaica, and churches within the United States to preach the Gospel impacting many lives.

Her greatest accomplishment was her family as well as her spiritual family.  The well-being of the church family was very important to her.  She loved traveling and cruising as well as reading.
