Linda Ann Bickley Grant, 77, of Chapin, South Carolina, passed away on October 18, 2026. Born on February 13, 1949, Linda will be remembered with deep respect and enduring affection by all who had the privilege to know her.
For many years, Linda dedicated herself to her work at Ellett Brothers in Chapin, serving first as a telemarketing salesperson and later as a National Sales Manager. Through steady commitment and perseverance, she earned the trust of colleagues and customers alike, carrying out her responsibilities with care, thoughtfulness, and a generous spirit.
Linda also gave meaningful service to the Little Mountain Eastern Star Chapter 276, where she was very involved and served as Worthy Matron and later as Past Grand Officer. Her leadership reflected a faithful devotion to others—quietly selfless, compassionate, and guided by a sincere desire to support and uplift those around her.
A charter member of Chapin Baptist Church, Linda’s faith shaped the way she lived and served. She was very involved in the church child development center, offering her time and attention with the kind-hearted steadiness that so many came to rely on.
Linda found joy in life’s simple and beautiful gifts. She loved hummingbirds, cooking, and gardening—interests that reflected her nurturing nature and the warmth she brought to home and family. She also enjoyed fellowshipping with family and friends, and she deeply loved her kids and grandkids.
Linda is survived by her loving husband of 58 years, Fred Hewitt Grant; her son, Richard Troy Grant (Julia); her daughter, Angela Denise Grant Oty; five grandchildren; three great grandchildren; and her sister, Betty Boozer Lester. She is also survived by numerous nieces and nephews.
She was predeceased by her mother and father, Annie Pearl Meetze and George Holly Bickley; her brothers, Frank Bickley, Herman Bickley, and Andrew Bickley; and her sister, Dorothy Bickley Metts.
Linda’s life was marked by devotion—to her family, her faith, her work, and her community. Her resilience, compassion, and generous heart will be remembered always, and her absence will be felt deeply by those who loved her.
