Linda spent over thirty years residing and involved in the Fredericksburg, Virginia community while commuting into Washington DC to work as a Senior Grants Management Specialist for the Department of Labor (DOL), a job she put her heart and soul into every day. Anytime you spoke with her she wanted to make sure you knew how our Federal government was investing in our communities through the DOL opportunities particularly in regard to supporting veterans. Prior to working for the DOL, she enjoyed working for the United States Military Academy West Point.

A graduate of Butler High School in Huntsville, Alabama, Linda loved her family and friends. She is survived by her brothers Chet Foreman (Huntsville, AL), Perry Foreman & Don Scalf (Tampa, FL), Glen Foreman (Huntsville, AL), Michael Foreman, her son, Dale Whitehead (Haymarket, VA), daughter, Sherith Bankston (Knoxville, TN), and grandsons, Everett Colverson and Taylor Hudson (Knoxville, TN) and many beloved nieces, nephews, cousins, and hundreds of friends that she shared her life with throughout the years. She is preceded in death by her parents, Chester Foreman and Jane Comeaux Foreman, her sister Jeannette Fay Davis (Foreman), and brother James Robert ("Jym") Foreman.

Linda had a big heart and loved to show those around her how much she loved them and life through gifts and acts of love. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you please consider donating to either the Wounded Warrior Project or the Sarcoma Foundation of America.
