Linda Joyce Carter

Mrs. Carter was born December 16, 1948 in Mississippi, daughter of the late Daisy (Wilburn) and Noel Johnson. She passed away Tuesday, January 20, 2026 in a local hospital.

Linda enjoyed spending time with her family and grandchildren. She enjoyed traveling, cooking and gardening.

She would often tell her grandkids, 'I love you a bushel and a peck with a hug around the neck", a beautiful expression of the boundless love she had for them.

She had a profound faith in God, which guided her through life and brought her peace and strength. She was a shining example of kindness and compassion, always eager to lend a helping hand. Her love for Southern gospel music filled her days with joy; she listened to it every day, finding comfort and inspiration in its melodies.
