Linda Beverly Dinkins-Porter-McPike-Raymond, age 76, of Casper, passed away March 21, 2017 at her home surrounded by her loving family. Linda was born January 28, 1941 in Baton Rouge, LA to Joseph and Lois (Scott) Dinkins. Linda attended school at Worland, High School before discontinuing her education to take care of her family. Linda loved to learn by reading and spent most of her time continuing her education on her own. Her greatest joy was being a homemaker for the majority of her life. Linda moved to Wyoming when she was younger with her mom and stepfather, Marvin Porter, and her four siblings. Linda lived in Worland, Tensleep, Afton, and Casper, Wyoming for the rest of her life. She was an avid quilter. Her greatest hobbies were cooking for her family and drawing. Her biggest regrets in life wasn't having the garden she always wanted and not becoming an archeologist as she always wished to be.
