She taught in Solanco school district for 30 years, starting in elementary school then moving to middle school. The students were always very special and dear to her heart and always brought great satisifaction when she saw that they "got it," in what they were learning. Linda met James L. Herr, the love of her life at the Buck Ball Field. They were happily married for 50 years until Jim's death in 2016. They had two sons, James P. (Melissa) and Jay H. (Erica) and 4 grandchildren. Emily, Owen, Colin, and Nathan all who brought joy and happiness watching them grow and learn. She is also survived by 2 siblings: Carl Barr (Kathryn) of Stewartstown, PA and Diane Barr of Farmington, PA. Treasured moments were spent at the local ball parks watching softball and baseball games of the children and grandchildren. Linda always thought it was much more exciting to see one of the boys play ball than it was to see a major league game. She also enjoyed reading and felt that you could always be content waiting if you just has a good book with you. Other activities she enjoyed include, trips to the family home in Western, PA, going to the mountains of Potter County, volunteering, and traveling after retirement. She loved outdoor life and living in the country. Linda had a love of faith, family, county, education, collecting antiques, and all things country. Linda was a member of Chestnut Level Presbyterian Church for 50 years and was always grateful for her religious training while growing up at Wharton Furnace Independent Church and the faithful people who would influence her life. Linda became engaged to her wonderful neighbor and friend in 2019, Marvin S. Stoner. Her words to to both family and friends would be, "My heart will always love you and my words of thanks will never be enough."
