Linda attended Bruceton-Hollow Rock High School and dedicated most of her professional career to bookkeeping.

For several years, she was an active member of the Cimarron Dance Club in Nashville, Tennessee.
Linda and Tony were members of Clinton Church of God and First Baptist Church in Clinton, Tennessee.
Linda was a fantastic baker who generously shared her delicious cakes. She could be counted on to play cards every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, but come three o’clock, the game could only go on with her McDonald’s coffee break.
Linda was a loving and gentle soul who possessed a measure of unfailing strength, stamina, and perseverance. She was beloved as a wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and friend.
