Linda Lee Marchant Perry was born on August 25, 1942 in Alexandria, Virginia. She was the oldest child of Joe Marchant and Marie Campbell and elder sister to Larry Marchant. She was reportedly a talented child, known for her love of reading and her acting on the stage.

In 1970 she graduated from American University with a Bachelor's degree in Speech Arts.

Growing up in the international community of Washington DC, she sought ideas and attitudes that brought people together across barriers. She also was seeking to understand God and suffering in a time of political and cultural turmoil.

In 1968 she first heard the teachings of the Divine Principle, and felt that this was a teaching with global implications. She joined with other missionaries to pioneer the movement across the United States.

Linda helped to found new churches in Baltimore, Maryland, and Las Vegas, Nevada. Due to her media savvy, she also served on Sun Myung Moon's public speaking tours as the main public relations officer.

In 1975, Linda received the Marriage Blessing as part of the 1800 couples' blessing group.

Following her Blessing, she began overseas missions to Bogota, Colombia and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

At the end of her overseas missions, she returned to Washington D.C. to begin her life as a mother. She eventually had three daughters: Limi Marie (Bauer), Maio Lily (Baiocco), and Camia Rose (Gavin).

She continued mission work, leading a witnessing team to spread the word from city to city. She worked as an Itinerary Worker, helping UC members to break through with their missions and with their own relationships.

She used her professional skills by working in various church organizations. She was the Senior Accountant at World & I Magazine, Senior Accountant for New York City Symphony, and Editor- in-Chief of Today's World magazine, Secretary General of Women's Federation for World Peace.

Her input was instrumental and critical in achieving WFWP's NGO status, one of the highest granted to NGOs at the United Nations. This is one they still hold today, making it possible for WFWP to continue to reach women globally. Even after retiring from her role there, she was an active member of the organization.

She spent her last years on the Florida coast in the home of her daughter and son-in-law, Maio and Alexander Baiocco.
