LRRM - Linda Louise Rice

Linda is Julie's paternal Grandmother. The two share an almost unexplainable bond and are mutually fond of each other. During Julie's childhood, Linda worked alongside her son and daughter-in-law to make Stoddard's Landing a success. As a result, she was able to spend a lot of time not only with them, but her Grandchildren as well. Julie resembles Linda significantly, and Linda can't help but see reflection of her younger self in Julie.

Linda was a riveter during World War II and Julie in particular has romanticized this part of her Grandmother's life. Linda has spent a lifetime working and helped her first husband, Julie's biological Grandfather who died young, start Stoddard's Landing. As a result, it appears that Linda's devotion to the business is her attempt to keep the memory of James, her first husband, alive and well.

Linda, now in her early 90s, continues to have a close relationship with all of her Grandchildren.
