Linda Gornowicz, 65, of Radium, MN, received her Crown of Glory on Thursday morning, April 11, 2019, at home with her family, under care of hospice.

Linda Jonell Potucek was born on July 22, 1953, in Warren, MN, to Jerome and Lorraine (Strand) Potucek. She was raised in Marshall county and graduated from Warren High School before attending NDSU, where she received her teaching degree.

In addition to being a loving farm wife and homemaker, Linda was a Home Economics teacher for many years in both Alvarado and Warren. Most recently, she was Home Study leader for Marshall County and was the Safe Community Coalition Administrator for the WAO school district.
