Mary received her Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration from U.W. Madison in 1971 and her Master’s Degree in Education from U.W. Whitewater in 1982. On July 5, 1975, Mary was united in marriage to Bill Linkus at the Northside Bible Church in Kenosha. Their union was blessed with 47 years of marriage. In early years, Mary taught high school. Until her retirement, she spent over 30 years as an Administrative Assistant instructor at M.A.T.C. After retirement, Mary devoted herself to years of service at First Christian Church and supported many Christian Missionaries.
