Linda was born the daughter of Z B and Neva Merle (Teel) Morrow on March 16, 1949 in Dallas, Texas. Linda attended SMU, obtaining both a Bachelor of Music Degree and a Master of Music Degree in vocal performance. Among Linda's music mentors and professors were Christine Palmer Whitlock and Thomas Hayward, both of operatic fame, Paul Vellucci, and Lloyd Pfautch. In addition to performing two graduating voice recitals at SMU, she sang the role of Rosalinde in SMU's full orchestral production of the Strauss' operetta, "Die Fledermaus". Linda went on to do post-masters work in music at East Texas State University in Commerce while teaching voice at the university as a graduate assistant. Upon returning to Dallas Linda managed the ticket office of the Dallas Opera for some time, and she was a paid principal singer in the chancel choir at St. Mathews Episcopal Cathedral for many years. She also spent several years teaching music to the elementary grades at Ursuline Academy. The rest of her music career was spent teaching voice and piano at Scott Sound Music Studio in North Dallas, as well as teaching privately. For many years Linda was an active member of the Dallas Music Teachers Association and of the National Association of Teachers of Singing. From time to time, she served as a judge at Regional NATS Competitions. In addition to her love for music, Linda was an avid reader, with many favorite authors and whole series of books which she collected and re-read from time to time. She also enjoyed traveling in the US and in Europe.
