In June of 1967, she married the love of her life, Donnie, and they began building their life together on Toledo Bend Lake. With the addition of three children, Wesley, Melissa, and Lori and four grandchildren, Ashlee, Samuel, Sarah, and Colin, they found themselves blessed beyond measure. During her time on earth, Linda was a devoted daughter, sister, wife, mother, grandmother, aunt, and friend to so many. Her unconditional love for her family and friends knew no limits, and it inspired others to love just as she loved them. She leaves behind a legacy of unconditional love that was built on compassion, humility, determination, and unyielding faith. She played a significant role in the lives of everyone she met, and her legacy will continue to influence the lives of so many.
