Linda Shaw, 74, of Knox, IN, formerly of La Porte, Indiana, passed away Wednesday, September 27, 2023 at NW Health-La Porte.

She was born October 30, 1948 in La Porte, IN, the daughter of Norman and Frances (Parker) Hedstrom.

On July 13, 2002, at Pioneer Land in La Porte, IN, Linda married Robert H. Shaw. Linda spent most of her life in the La Porte area, until she and Robert bought a farm in Knox 20 years ago. She worked at American Rubber for many years before retiring as an x-ray technician at Howmet. She was a member of American Legion Post 0131 in Knox, IN.  Linda loved to crochet and do crafts, and had an Etsy shop online where she sold her creations. She raised chickens on their farm, had beautiful flower gardens, and had a menagerie of fur babies that she adored.  Linda loved dancing with her husband and going out to eat at the Bass Lake Pub. Her favorite times, though, were her "Girl's Days" spent with her daughter Lori.
