Linda B. Graves

Linda was born February 2, 1934 to the late Ralph & Minnie Lee Bishop in Electra, Texas. She grew up as a member of River Oaks Baptist Church. She then left Texas and traveled as an Air Force wife when she married Frank Rine in the 1950’s. After his retirement from the Air Force in the early 70’s, they returned home to Fort Worth, Texas. Linda then later married Joel Graves in 1979 and they enjoyed 36 years of amazing time together, loving to do road trips, dining out, and working the Fort Worth Stock Show each year. Linda also dearly loved watching her soap operas, taking pictures, and spending time with her family. With her love of taking pictures of “everyone & everything” she became the Queen of taking selfies in her 80’s on her Iphone and would dress each day with all her jewelry whether she was leaving the house or not. Linda especially loved to spend time holding and spoiling the newborn babies.

Linda is preceded in death by her parents; brother Don Bishop; loving husband Joel Graves in 2015; and oldest daughter Vicki Spraggins in 2011. Linda is survived by her daughters, Suzanne Hale and husband Tracy, Kathleen Graves, and Darlene Teeler and husband Levi; and son Frank Rine Jr. She is also survived by 6 grandchildren, Bryan Spraggins, Chelsea Lopez, Chase Hale, Lacy Little, Courtney Gamage and Joel Sargent; and 2 great-grandchildren Ava Little and Easton Lopez.

Visitation will be February 15th from 12:30 – 2 pm at Laurel Land Funeral Home with funeral service following at 2 pm.
