She will be remembered by her family and friends for her fierce love of her family and her always sharp sense of humor. She was born on September 18, 1949 to Melvin Lee and Dorothy Marie (Keenan) Dittemore in Hiawatha, KS. The family moved to Plattsmouth, NE in 1950 where Linda and her brothers were raised. She graduated from Plattsmouth High School in 1967 and then went to work at Mutual of Omaha. She met Jimmy H. Glines who was stationed at Offutt Air Force Base and they were married on April 25th 1970. They had two children; Jimmy H. Jr and Jennifer Lin. While Jimmy was enlisted in the Air Force the family had station postings in Fairbanks, AK, Wichita Falls, TX, Anchorage, AK and Shreveport, LA where Jimmy retired from the service and they returned to Plattsmouth. In all of those postings Linda worked for Civil Service primarily working in the housing offices on several of the bases. After returning to Nebraska Linda started working with the U.S. Civil Engineers for a few years before starting a position with the Dept. of Housing and Urban Development. In 1996 after their children were moving out and finishing college, Linda and Jim followed her job to transfer to Denver, CO. In 2000 Linda earned her favorite title "Grandma" with the birth of Mahala to her daughter Jennifer and her husband Craig followed by Jacob and Jay. Linda and Jim were thrilled to become grandparents and frequently made the trip from Denver back to Omaha so they could spoil their grandchildren properly. After the loss of their son Jimmy in 2006 the two decided to return to Nebraska to be closer to the grandchildren. Linda retired from HUD and 30 plus years of Civil Service and they moved to Papillion, NE where she began working in mortgage servicing at First National Bank Omaha where she retired again in 2018.
