Linda was the second child born to Rufus P. and Estelle G. Toxey. She grew up in Holt, AL and was a long-time member of Holt Baptist Church, where she made a profession of faith in the Lord Jesus and was baptized. She attended Holt Elementary School and graduated from Holt High School in 1957. She received a Bachelor of Science in Nursing in 1961 and a Master of Science in Nursing in 1962 from the University of Alabama. She later received a Master of Public Health from The University of Alabama Birmingham in 1984. After graduating from college, she worked at Druid City Hospital, University of Alabama, Partlow State School and Hospital, Bryce Hospital, and the Tuscaloosa County Department of Health.

Linda married Henry Wayne Boyd on July 25, 1959. They lived in the Tuscaloosa area until 1965 when they moved to the Coaling area on Highway 11. Shortly thereafter they joined Evergreen Baptist Church and were faithful members there until health issues necessitated their relocation in 2018. Linda was active as a pianist, Sunday School teacher and in children’s ministries. Serving and extending mercy to the body of Christ and the broader community was a priority to her. She frequently offered medical advice and administered care to those in need. Linda’s proudest vocational accomplishment was the founding of the Good Samaritan Clinic in Northport, AL in 1999. This was a free Christian (non-denominational) medical clinic for the uninsured, which is still in operation today.

“I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will award to me on that day, and not only to me but also to all who have loved his appearing.” 2 Timothy 4:7-8.
