Linda Louise Pagitt Blassingame, of McKinney, TX, passed away on Tuesday, August 9 in McKinney. She was a loving Mom, Ninna, sister, aunt and friend. She was born in Palestine, TX to Hubert Pagitt and Lorine Cude Pagitt. Linda married her high school sweetheart, Larry Blassingame, in June 1962, and they were married until his death in 2006.
Linda lived a life of faith in Jesus Christ, serving in her local church library as long as her health allowed. She had numerous chronic health issues throughout her life, but dealt with them with grace and strength that stemmed from her faith. Linda was generous and self-less, always helping others. She was an inspiration to many.
Linda was an avid reader, and loved to cook and bake. She had an extensive cookbook collection, and would read them like others read a novel. Her grandchildren were the light of her life, and she loved supporting them in their pursuits of theatre, music and ice hockey.
