Linda was retired from the Paulding County DA’s office as an administrative assist to the assistant DA. She was a single mom since her early twenties and raised her three children on her own to which she was very proud of all three.

She was an active member of Grace Baptist Church where she was involved in many events held especially working the Café for the youth on Wednesday nights where she served them food and Sammy driving the bus. She was a volunteer at the schools where she would read to the children once a week.

She was a caregiver for 26 years to her paraplegic son Mike until his death Aug 11, 2019 and her mother Nadine for the last 5 until her death on Oct 12, 2020.

Linda was a lover of all people, places and things and truly blessed each person she crossed paths with. She was a caregiver to many and a high supporter of her family and never failed to put them first before herself. She selflessly made over 500 masks when COVID-19 locked down homes and closed businesses, donating them to essential workers and hospital staff or to anyone that may have needed them. Her arts and crafts were so small but made huge impacts.

Her hobbies included going on trips to the mountains, the beach, fishing, rafting, hunting and just spending time with her family and others. Her faith was big and she did not hesitate to tell you that God was her Savior and would offer prayer or anything to those who needed something. She loved giving of herself to the homeless and battered women’s shelter.

She was so very proud of all her grandchildren! Robert, who was the first in the family to get a full ride scholarship to college, play baseball, and finish with his Bachelor’s Degree in Criminal Justice at Troy University. Katie, her Soldier girl, SSG Bahten serves in the US Army at Fort Benning. She is also a mom and a full-time student who has made the Presidents List twice and is graduating with high honors of an Associate’s Degree in Science and Mathematics from Columbus Technical College. Gavin, the youngest, who is an active youth member at Grace Baptist and went on multiple mission trips to include the Dominican Republic, and currently is a dual enrollment student at the College Career Academy.

She was one of the strongest, bravest, and pure souled women to walk the face of this earth and was loved by all. Her beautiful smile, loving and selfless heart with be sorely missed.
