After retiring, she worked as a HOST Mentor for Palo Duro High School and worked as a substitute teacher. She loved to dance and had an angelic singing voice. She loved to listen to all music like Elvis, the Eagles,  Earth-Wind -and Fire, and Praise music at church. Her family was her whole life.  Above all, was her love for her church, reading the Bible, praising God’s Name, and professing her faith to those around her. The Olive Garden and the Plaza were her Favorite restaurants, and cookies and sweets were her only vices. She loved to travel, especially to see her grandkids, and dreamed of going to Israel. Her only indulgence in life was her favorite room service when she was away with dad on a trip.Survivors include her husband, Duane Lintner; a son Bryan Lintner and wife Denisa of Amarillo; a daughter Brenda Scott and husband Rodney of Jackson Mississippi; brothers, Sonny Stovall of Shamrock and Jim Stovall of Amarillo; six grandchildren, Haley and Landon Lintner, Hunter, Jackson, Harrison, and John-David Scott , and many, many nieces, nephews, and cousins.The family suggests memorials be sent to the American Cancer Society, 3915 Bell, Amarillo, TX, 79109.
