Linda was a wonderful amazing wife, mother, sister, grandmother and aunt, and she touched each and everyone's life. She loved the sound of music, loved laughter and she loved to spread joy and laughter. She also was with her sister Brenda where there was one the other was sure to follow. She loved her animals, family gatherings, camping, holidays especially Christmas was her favorite of all times. I can't think of nothing she really didn't love to do as long as it was with her family. She loved her some chocolate brownies and Oreos and didn't want to be with out. Like the old saying "if moma ain't happy ain't no one happy" she didn't go without.

She was very easy to please having Jesus and her family in her life. She had a good life even though short lived here on earth she will live on through Christ where she is at rest and peace. Linda will live on through all of us and never be forgotten.

Funeral services will be at 2:00pm Tuesday October 3, 2017 at Harrell's Funeral Home Chapel. Reverend Cobie Fowler will officiate.

You are invited to sign the guest book above and write a tribute to the family if you wish.
