Linda Voyles, 87 years, passed away peacefully on October 1, 2020. She was surrounded by her four children and all her grandchildren in the hours before her home going. Linda Voyles was a true woman of faith and lived that love for Christ. She was always tending to the needs of others and never turned away anyone. Her love and prayers blanketed her family like a huge hand stitched quilt. Her love was shown to all that she came in contact with daily. If you ever had the privilege of being in her home, you know that you would not leave hungry. If you did, it was by your choice because biscuits and cakes or pecan pies were a staple that were available with the short walk to the kitchen.
Linda Joyce Andrews Voyles was born November 4, 1932, to Jessie Sylvester and Tennie Tucker Andrews. She had worked at Wilton Casting and Action Manufacturing for many years. Linda was a member of In Good Faith Baptist Church.
