Linda was a lifelong resident of Calhoun County and a graduate of Walter Welborn High School. She was employed by the State ABC Board for many years. Linda was an avid softball player and loved to spoil her grandchildren. She took up gardening that she learned from her father EW Ford, often being found in her greenhouse that Dale built. She loved digging in the dirt and watching her flowers grow, but her true love was her old dog Rusty that she had for 18 years.
