Linda graduated from Holt High School in 1969. She retired from Partlow State School & Hospital in Tuscaloosa, AL after 25 years.

After her retirement she was a leader with Caring Hearts and worked diligently.

Linda was a special person with a lot of friends over the years. She had some who were very close and I can't name them all. She had three who were very special and they loved each other very much. Doris Brackner, who was like a mother and sister and Kay Parker and Marsha Stough who both were very close and also like a sister. She had a lot of neighbors on Highland Oaks Drive and Lake Arnedra who she helped and they helped her also and they were very close to each other.

She loved children and did a lot for the classes at Verner Elementary, Westwood Elementary, and Buhl Elementary for Caroline, Mileigh and Scotlyn. She helped her niece with her two children John and June as much as she could over the years. Sutton and Sawyer were additions to all of the children she loved. She loved children so much she made blankets for 10 years and gave them out with no charge except a hug.

Linda never met a stranger and always helped anyone who needed help in any way possible. She had so many friends at Partlow over the 25 years she worked there. She had two very special people in her life, Marsha and Jimmy Romaine over the years. She had special friends that met together in "Front Porch'' gatherings once a week, especially Jimmy Dockery who loved everyone. She also loved her friends that met every Friday night dinner.
