She was educated in Glen Cove schools and a graduate of North Shore High School in Glen Cove. Mrs. Dwyer was also a graduate of SUNY Potsdam and furthered her education at Skidmore College and The College of New Rochelle doing graduate work.

Linda also taught at the Wildwood School in Schenectady, Tryon School and the Mohawk Valley Tutorial Program as well as private duty tutoring.

A member of St. James Lutheran Church in Gloversville, Linda was very active in many church affairs including the church council, Sunday school and various church functions.

William Sidener of Bristow, VA and Meghan White Dwyer of Gloversville; a brother, Thomas H. Major General Ret. and Margaret Tait of Lexington, VA and one grandson, Jack Dawson Sidener.
