Linda was survived by her children Lawrence Ott of Carrollton, Texas, Robert Ott of Addison, Texas and Pattie Burgess of Farmers Branch; her grandchildren Alan, Lauren and Ashley Ott, and Alie, Adam, Aubrie and Avery Burgess; one great-grandchild Jacob Wicker.

Linda is known and well respected in the Farmers Branch/Carrollton area for her presence in the community through various church, neighborhood, school and sporting events and activities. Linda handled everything from picking up children for church services to participating as room/team mom for her children and grandchildren, to heading the softball leagues.

Known as “Granny” to so many, her compassion and love could be felt not only by her children and grandchildren but also by the many friends that surrounded her. Her voice rang from the bleachers at countless football, baseball, basketball, softball fields and auditoriums for more than four decades. Whether it was encouraging a participant or correcting an official, you knew who she was rooting for. There weren’t enough hours to listen to or words to express the pride and joy she had for her children and grandchildren.
