Linda Allred

Linda was devoted to both her family and her career, approaching each with dedication, commitment, and pride. She spent more than 20 years serving as a social worker with Hinds Behavioral Health Services and another 20 years working at Crechales Restaurant of Jackson. Through her years of service, Linda touched many lives and made a lasting difference in the lives of those around her.

A true animal lover, Linda found great joy in caring for her beloved dogs and cats. She had a fun-loving personality, a sharp mind, and a special way of bringing enjoyment to those around her. She loved music, especially Michael Jackson, and enjoyed traveling whenever she had the opportunity, with the beach and mountains among her favorite destinations.

Linda was a remarkable person whose kindness, dedication, and vibrant personality touched many lives. She will be fondly remembered and deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing and loving her.

Linda is survived by her son, Douglas Blackburn; grandson, Shawn Douglas Blackburn; her long-time companion and friend, Arthur Pierce; brother, Kenny Chappell; sisters, Jodi Cohn, and Kay Chappell; cherished nieces and nephews; and special friends, Jane and April.
