She has been a resident of the Carol Woods Retirement Community since 1996. She was born in Chester, South Carolina and grew up in Greenville, South Carolina. She was the daughter of the late George DeWitt Auld and Lillian McDill Auld of Greenville, South Carolina. She was a 1939 graduate from Greenville South Carolina High School and in 1943 graduated from Agnes Scott College with an AB Degree in mathematics and physics.

In 1946 with a fellowship in physics at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill she earned a MS in Physics, and was honored with membership in the Sigma Xi Society. In 1948, she married Joe Burton Linker, Jr., and they lived in Raleigh, where she was a Physics Instructor at North Carolina State University. In 1949 with the completion of her husband's MS in Electrical Engineering, they moved to Syracuse New York where he was with the General Electric Co. Two children, a son and a daughter were born and after ten years they moved with GE to Lynchburg Virginia. In Lynchburg she became a physics instructor at Sweet Briar College. Her senior course in applied photography was especially well received. Later she taught physics at Randolph Macon Women's College in Lynchburg before accepting a position as Assistant Professor of Physics at Central Virginia Community College in Lynchburg. Besides her family interests she was active in the Presbyterian Church, the League of Women Voters, and regular trail outings as member of the Appalachian Mountain Club.
