Horst, Piketown and numerous close friends. Linn was a beautiful, loving, and devoted wife, a wonderful mother and grandmother, a dedicated sister and a loyal friend. She was one of Harrisburg’s most talented and incredibly popular hair and nail stylist, with her own salon, SHEAR ACTION by Linn. She was everyone’s favorite “free” seamstress and a long-time talented potter, specializing in unique handbuilt creations. Linn had many talents but one that many were able to enjoy was her ability to see colors, furniture, clothing and designed it just for you. In addition, she created floral decorations for all holidays for many of her friends. She was a home cook, second to none.
