Linda Gill Guthrie

Linda Gill Guthrie, born February 6, 1943 in Birmingham, AL, passed away peacefully Thursday July 17, 2025. Growing up in Nashville, TN, Linda graduated from the University of Alabama in 1965. She had a great love of Alabama football enjoying the reign of Bear Bryant while she was in school. She moved to Winter Park in the early 1970s with her husband at that time Dr. Leigh Gill, a veterinarian. She loved Winter Park and went on to a start a family, build a business and a network of many, many friends throughout the years. As a community leader and volunteer, she was a member of many organizations including Semoran Jr. Women’s club, Jr. League of Orlando, Council of 101, and the Winter Park Sidewalk Art Festival, where she was president twice. She was a member of the Winter Park Racquet Club for over four decades where she enjoyed playing tennis, meeting for book club, Girls Night out with her daughters and spending summers at the pools with her grandchildren. She also became a member of the Tuskawilla Country Club after she married her second husband Bill Guthrie in 2004 and learned to love golf.

She was an active member of All Saints Episcopal Church and served on various committees including the Flower guild and teaching at the preschool. Linda owned American Travel Consultants for over 10 years and was able to fulfill her passion for travel and building memories. She was lucky enough to find a second love with Bill, where they enjoyed a full life together traveling the world and spending time with family and friends. Linda Lou was full of life, fun, joy, kindness and faith, never losing that southern charm, even through her struggles with dementia. She helped friends in need, neighbors, her children, her children’s friends, always opening up her home to host others for a glass of wine or to sit on the porch.

Being a mother and grandmother were her greatest joys in life. She is survived by her daughters Kerrie Gill, Katie Gill Warner, son-in-law Derek Warner, grandchildren Ella Lou Warner, Jack Nelson Warner, sisters Kay McGivaren, Susan Palladino and many nieces and nephews. Services will be held at All Saints Church, July 31 at 11am. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to be made in Linda’s name to the Alzeihmer’s Association for research or the Audubon Center for Birds of Prey in Maitland, FL.

She did have one last thing to say…a Final ROLL TIDE!!!!
