She was predeceased by her parents Ken & Jessie Bird and brother Ken Bird. Linda was born in Ponoka, AB. She was born into a military family and spent her youth on bases mostly in Edmonton and Germany. She finished her growing up years in Calgary, which has been her home ever since. She studied Interior Design at Mount Royal University and eventually launched her own design and contracting business.

As a self-professed introvert, Linda enjoyed sewing, quilting, baking and reading.
