She lived most of her life in the Lebanon area, and graduated from Lebanon High School in the Class of 1963. After she and Dean were married, they made their home near Lebanon and Linda was a devoted homemaker to her husband and family. She also worked at Mid-Way Restaurant through the years, Ted’s Jewelry, and House of Ivey. She later was a sales representative for the online catalog business at Shepherd Hills Factory Outlets and became the assistant manager of that department.
Linda made her profession of faith in Christ early in her life and was a longtime member of First Baptist Church in Lebanon.
In her spare time she enjoyed reading, gardening, traveling, doing crafts and counted cross-stitch projects. She loved the holidays, and enjoyed decorating the house for all of them, but especially at Christmas. Her family and friends were at the center of her life and she greatly enjoyed spending time with her grandchildren.
Linda was a loving mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, aunt, and was a caring friend. We celebrate her life and her accomplishments and know that her family and friends will cherish the wonderful memories she created for them during her lifetime.
A memorial to the Stroke Victims Foundation has been established and contributions may be made through the funeral home.
