Linda was first and foremost a devoted Christian woman. She loved the Lord with her whole heart and loved all people just like Jesus wanted us to show love. Linda had a way of making everyone in her presence feel loved, of importance and like they were her favorite person in the world.

She held many jobs in her lifetime to take care of and raise her three children. The job title she held dearest was Mother, Wife, and Homemaker. Linda loved to be with family. She loved to cook for people. She loved going to church. The hardest part of her becoming bedridden was not being able to go to church.

Linda was a member of Calvary Pentecostal with pastor Buford Hooker and wife Glenda. Linda believed in the Holiness standard and lived it to the fullest, unwavering to the left or the right.

The following children: -Mary Mechelle Johnson and husband Johnny, -Angela Jackson and husband George,
