Linda Sue Kirkpatrick

Linda Sue Kirkpatrick passed away February 14, 2015. She was born in Sandusky, Ohio on March 30, 1963 to Freddie and Marian Johnson. While very young, her family moved to the Dallas Fort Worth area in Texas, where she attended Grand Prairie High School. Linda loved and was strong willed, with a beautifully, positive spirit. She was not afraid to tell you what she was thinking, and when you made her mad, she was always quick to forgive. She enjoyed country music, collecting knick-knacks, like unicorns and Winnie the Pooh. Linda was a kid at heart. She would often go play in the snow and not put on the appropriate clothing. She loved children, bingo, the Texas longhorns, lilies, and the colors blue and white. She attended Temple Baptist in Grand Prairie, Texas and was recently saved. Linda was very proud to be an Army mom. Most recently, she was working with Grand Prairie ISD as a Bus Monitor for special needs children. In October of 2014 she was diagnosed with Breast Cancer.
