Linda Huff was born March 15, 1950 in Detroit, MI to the union of Gilbert and Lizzie Mae Huff. She was the second of three daughters and spent her childhood on the west side of Detroit. She grew up with her sisters, Brenda and Sherrell and they remained very close throughout her life. She graduated one year early from Northwestern High School in 1967 due to her educational achievements. She went on to work as a Customer Service Representative at Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Michigan while attending college at Wayne State University.

Linda met the love of her life, Donald Rowe, in 1973. The couple married on November 14, 1974 and later had two sons, Jason and Darrin. Linda received Christ into her life in 1978. She later joined New Creation Christian Center and was filled with the Holy Spirit. Her salvation dramatically changed her life and helped lead her husband to Christ. Linda joined Full Gospel Tabernacle in 1982, where she served as a women’s support group leader, a prison ministry worker, an usher, choir member and intercessor. In 1996, Linda joined Living Bread Ministries where she was ordained as an Elder and led the prophetic team and prison ministry.

Linda greatly enjoyed travel and vacationed across the United States, Canada, and the Caribbean. She also went on a mission’s trip to Lima, Peru. Linda loved to study the bible, shop, watch classic films, and stay in touch with her close friends and church family. Over the years, Linda became both a spiritual mother and advisor to many young women. Throughout her life, she continued to lend advice, pray and encourage her “daughters”.
