Linda began her teaching career in Biloxi, Mississippi where she met her future husband, Chuck. They were married at the Methodist Church in New Albany on January 27, 1968. Linda and Chuck spent the next three years at Eglin Air Force Base, Florida. Then they moved to Memphis, Tennessee, where she began teaching in several local grade schools. Her career spanned 37 years, where she touched many young lives.
Linda loved life. She never met a stranger. She had a heart for the underdog and gave generously to many charitable organizations over the years. She had a flair for fashion and loved her “bling.” One of her favorite pastimes was country line dancing with her friends.
Chuck and Linda followed Bill to Oakland, Tennessee, where they joined Faith United Methodist Church. Linda had a great love for her Lord and was involved in many Bible studies over the years.
