Linda Thompson

Linda was born in 1944 and was raised in Omaha, Nebraska with her parents Norma and James Thompson and her sister Suzanne. During Linda’s teens and early twenties, she held various jobs at the Nebraska Methodist Hospital. In 1967, Linda started working for Avis Car Rental (Avis) at the Omaha Airport. During her tenure with Avis, Linda was transferred to Denver and ultimately landed her final transfer to Glen Cove in 1976, where she held various positions in the IT Department. During this time, Linda became very connected to the Glen Cove Senior Center (Center), in addition to many various departments in the City of Glen Cove.  She was a member of the Beautification Committee, the Senior Advisory Board, and drove medical transportation for the Center. In 2005, at the inception of the SAGE Foundation, Linda volunteered to run their golf outing. In 2006, Linda retired from Avis after 38 years and continued to run the outings until 2021. To this day, Linda continues to donate her time as a volunteer for the outing along with volunteering in the Center’s Adult Day Program.
