==Early and personal life==
Smith grew up in a working class home. Her father abandoned the family and her mother remarried a mechanic (who went on to have a long career with the railroad), and in 1966 moved the family to Vancouver, Washington. Linda has an older sister, two younger sisters, and two younger brothers. In high school, she had part-time jobs as a fruit picker and a day-care aide. She later recalled, “I felt like by 17, I had had more lives than most people." Linda was known by her family to be a little "dramatic." She was 24 years old when her mother died of cancer, leaving her two younger brothers at home. Her step father remarried a few months later.〔()〕
In 1968, she married Vern Smith, a young locomotive engineer, shortly before the age of 18, and they raised two children. She became the manager of a number of independent tax offices in Southern Washington. She currently lives in Vancouver with her husband, and has two children and six grandchildren.
