Linda was born to Clifford and Evelyn Wagner on September 28, 1946. She attended Warsaw Central High School and graduated in 1965. After graduating from high school, Linda joined the Navy and attained the rank of 3rd Class Electronics Technician. She met her future husband and subsequently left the Navy to be married to Jerry Wayne Moreland for 51 years. Linda and Jerry had 3 children: Eric Wayne Moreland, Robert Thomas Moreland (deceased), and Diana Moreland Goude. Later in life, she attended Auburn University Montgomery, where she was known as “Mama” because she was the oldest in her class, and where she earned her Bachelors of Science in Nursing in 2001. Once she graduated, she was proud to work at Jackson Hospital for about 10 years as a pediatric nurse.
Linda also was very proud to be a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution and was quite proud to join the voluntary and charitable efforts of the DAR.
Linda was preceded in death by her parents Mr. & Mrs. Clifford Wagner, her sister Diane Cordaro, and her son Robert Thomas Moreland.
She is survived by her husband Jerry Moreland, her son Eric Moreland and his two daughters Erica Moreland and Erin Moreland, her daughter Diana Moreland Goude and her son Cooper Goude, and her grandson Brandon Moreland, who is Robert’s son.
In lieu of flowers memorials may be given to the Montgomery Humane Society, the National Geographic Society, or the Montgomery Zoo, where Linda especially loved to watch the giraffe exhibit.
The family of Linda Jean Moreland wishes to extend their sincere thanks to Kindred Hospice for their compassionate care as well as to all the friends and family who offered their loving support and prayers.
