Linda served and honored the Lord from an early age. She was a good Christian wife, mother, and grandmother. She honored God and loved her family dearly. She enjoyed sitting by the beach, watching ocean sunsets, and listening to the waves. Linda always prayed, gave scripture advice, and helped and supported her children and grandchildren throughout life. She loved decorating her home for each holiday. She especially loved Christmas as she was able to celebrate the Lord and put her angel on top of the tree. She was a selfless, caring, sweet soul who always saw to it that her family was well taken care of.
On Linda’s behalf, we would like to thank the church for their love, support, and prayers throughout all her hardships. The family would also like to thank Liz Echols, John Presnell and “Nana” Dawn Martin.
