About Linda Van Der Merwe

I was born in Rhodesia and emigrated to Australia in 1983 with my husband and two children. I worked at the Department of Justice and Attorney General for 16 years and then moved over to Queensland health for 3 years. In 2011 I was made redundant. I am not working and spend my days making cards, joining clubs and having fun with my friends. I have three beautiful grandsons and spend a lot of time with them. My one regret is that my beloved husband did not live long enough to meet his grandchildren.
