She is the daughter of the late Maynard and Francis Fuller. Linda graduated from Northeastern University in Boston, MA with a degree in mathematics and education. She began her teaching career at Cape Elizabeth Middle School and later taught at York High School in Southern ME for 11 years. She also worked part time at a Pizza Hut as a hostess which is where she met her husband of 42 years, Jacob (Jack) Rudy. One evening, Jack went to the restaurant where Linda worked, and he began playing the jukebox. Jack asked Linda to pick a song and she chose Sailing by Christopher Cross. He then asked her if she sailed to which she replied, no she just likes the song. Captain Jack is an avid sailor, but he decided to take a chance and ask her out anyway. After that, they sailed for 42 years together anytime that they could. Linda and Jack moved to Cobb Island, MD in 1981 where Linda taught Algebra and Geometry at LaPlata High School and retired after 21 years of dedicated service.
