Linda was born on June 8, 1942 in Benjamin, Texas to Salomon and Maria Valdez Casillas. She was a Master Seamstress working at S and Q Clothiers in the mid 60s until the business closed. She moved to Monroe, Louisiana for a few years, working in alterations until she returned to Wichita Falls. She opened T and L Tailors with her longtime friend and co-worker Tony Rodriguez. They operated and maintained a very well-known business for over 20 years. Linda closed the business after Tony’s passing and then retired. She was preceded in death by her parents: Salomon and Maria Casillas and her brother: Carlos Casillas.
Survivors include her son: Sammy Villa and wife Sherry of Wichita Falls; grandson: Christopher Villa and wife Ashley of Dallas; granddaughter: Lauren Benton and husband Taylor of Irving; her pride and joy, great-granddaughter: Elliott Grace. She is also survived by her siblings: Pita “Ruth” Chavez, Augustina Lerma, Henry Casillas and numerous nieces and nephews.
Linda devoted her life to her son, Sammy and then did the same for her two grandchildren: Christopher and Lauren. She will forever be missed. Love you Mom!
