Kourtney and I became friends in middle school and met Mrs. Hindman for the first time at Kourtney’s birthday party. Over the years, Mrs. and Mr. Hindman let me hang out at a lot of Hindman family things that you wouldn’t normally invite your daughter’s friend to, even if you liked her  – family dinners, their vow renewal, her master’s graduation party. 

I remember I would join them when they were house-hunting for their home in the Triangle. I would meet them at the apartment they were staying in, and Mr. and Mrs. Hindman, Kourtney, and I would spend the day driving around looking at houses. One of the weekends, we went to go look at a house way out in the country. They had been told it was a fixer-upper, but I don’t think any of us were really prepared for how much of a fixer-upper it was. There was water damage everywhere and the house was in pretty severe general disrepair. At one point Mrs. Hindman and I were in the master bedroom looking around. We opened one of the closet doors and the entire ceiling had basically collapsed in on itself. We just looked at each other and burst out laughing. The giggles continued throughout the rest of the house tour. Obviously, that was not the house they ended up going with.

I have so many wonderful memories of Ms. Hindman’s kindness and warmth - having her attend my own college graduation, discussing the shocking lack of attention and funding for early childhood education at Kourtney’s 30th birthday party, making sure there was always a piece of fish for me at Hindman family barbecues because I was vegetarian.  

I will always be grateful that she (and Mr. Hindman) were so welcoming to me over the years and treasure those memories.  Her passion and her positive energy may be dimmed, but I know these things will also live on in her family.

When I think of beautiful, sweet Linda a smile appears on my face.  And my heart warms with love and laughter.  I enjoyed many wonderful years with Linda at DBHS and years after.  Her charm, energy and wit would light up a room.  I will cherish my wonderful memories of our times together.  Forever in my heart, never forgotten.  Love, David Henry Johnson

There are so many memories all tangled together, of the plays and just playing in the theatre, the bus rides and overnights for forensics, and the long enjoyable hours working on shows and speeches. I have always been so proud of Linda; her wit and common sense always pulled everything together. I trusted Linda implicitly, so much so that I had her babysit my precious son. When I saw her at South View picking up Brooklyn, I was so excited to see her again. She hadn't changed and was still and will always be one of my kids. The most wonderful group of people ever. Trust me, she loved and was loved deeply.

Our paths crossed in August of 1983 at Pembroke State and Linda and I became special friends.
Our lives continued and our paths crossed throughout the year's with The anticipation and hope to get together And catch up! But Time always gets away And we move onto another eternity of Life. I am not sad but I know in My heart that I Will see my dear friend Linda again in The Next eternity And We Will catch up And our friendship will always be. My girl had accomplished so much in her Life And she has helped so many!
Her husband Fred and her lovely daughters and grandchildren Will have wonderful memories of Linda and I promise that you Will looking forward to seeing her again.like Me ❤️

I am so sorry to hear about Linda's passing. Sending my warmest thoughts to her family, especially to Fred and to her daughters Brooklyn and Kourtney, as all of you were often in our conversations and I know she loved you deeply. I met Linda when I interviewed and consequently hired her in Chapel Hill in 2007. We worked so well together and stayed in touch well beyond that time in Chapel Hill. While I haven't seen her since I moved to California 10 years ago, we stayed in touch a bit and just a few months ago messaged via social media.  What a loss! 
Much love,
Angelica & family

These two parents, together, were a blessing to walk besides just a short time. I was able to coach Brooklyn for a little while and every memory I have of this family includes three things we can all do more of in this life. They smiled a lot, they were kind, and they were consistent. Linda I have not spoken to you nor anyone in your family for years, and I’m sorry they don’t get anymore time on this earth w you. Praying The Lord comforts you all during this painful time. Linda your kindness, smile and consistency will live on. Prayers to you all. 🙏 Love, Kama

I have so many memories with Linda, going on trips with the forensics team, the plays on the DBSH mini theater 
Driving around the neighborhood listening to music really loud 
I am sad knowing that Linda is not around for me to call
I will relish the memories we shared

More importantly - it was so clear how much Linda and Fred were in love! A great example for all ❤️

I am sending you guys my prayers. I met Linda as a new PreK Director in Chapel Hill. She was so sweet and loving to me as I navigated new processes. She answered the phone every time I called and  responded to all of my emails even the ones that she already answered and I needed it said a different way. She was one of the sweetest people you could ever meet; PreK definitely lost a jewel.

Class of 83 Eagles! Favorite memory our group going to see Billy Squier! 🎸Can’t believe you are gone! Thoughts and prayers for your family & friends! 💔

I worked with Linda at Sherwood Park Elementary. She was such a sweet , kind and gentle person who was always smiling. She was loved by all the students and staff. My prayers go out to the family during this time. Rest in peace beautiful lady!

This time will seem incomprehensible and then joyous for what you experienced and know.  It will hurt but make you stronger than you can realize. You are blessed with family and friends who care and love you all.   Take time to experience it but remember that no one can ever take away the love and memories that you all hold close to your heart.  Im praying for you all and love you.

I attended Pembroke State University and lived just down the hall from Linda in the dormitory.  Eventually, I joined Sigma Sigma Sigma and we were sorority sisters.  Linda was always smiling, laughing, and making others join her...we didn't have a choice!  She was just a happy person!  I will remember that most about Linda, her laugh, her infectious laugh.  I was sad to hear of her passing.  I didn't keep in touch with Linda when she graduated and left PSU, but it warms my heart see that she lived a fulfilling life, had a beautiful family, and I'm happy to know that she will be remembered through their stories to her grandbabies.  May she rest in peace.

I’ve been thinking about you for these past few days and I think that my fondest memories of you are when you, Fred and the girls and family came and stayed in the farmhouse in Purcellville.  We would all sit around the house in Roond Hill, talking and laughing, reminiscing about the times at the farm with Bob and Marg.  The things that the boys got into while growing up . You would especially enjoy and laugh the longest about some of those crazy antics.  You will be missed, “Bad”Linda by all who knew and loves you.🌹♥️

I have typed and retyped this message a half dozen times, but nothing seems to be the "Right thing to say".   My soul hurts for Fred and his loss.  I wish I could have spent more time with family over the years and gotten to know Linda.  She had to be one heck of a lady to put up with all the Hindman shenanigans.

So sorry to hear about this passing. Prayers go out to the family in this time of grief.

I will remember Linda as fun, chatty, wildly creative and all about hugs...and yeah, that mischievous smile was her trademark! 

As a family, they always played together. As a family they were also great at parties—themed, costumed, and with games that they created, because they were a very creative family that loved a competition...

However, if anyone were to ask me my favorite memory, it would be this: During a winter holiday gathering, we all wanted to try a new restaurant, and because we all wanted to be together, we all piled into my SUV. Let’s just say my brothers are big boys, so we were more than snug... On the way home, we were all laughing, but Linda had laughed so hard, and so long, it made all our laughing even more funny. After a while, we all noticed that all of our laughter began to sound like a lingering purr, which made it funnier, and you guessed it, last even longer... Think of it like a cat purring their contentment and comfort...get the image? 

Well, this is what we often did back then as a family, we gathered for contentment and comfort, and Linda simply made it more fun! Brothers don’t pick their sister-in-law’s, but Linda was always the right choice for Fred and that’s one thing we all agree on.

So sad to hear of Linda’s death.  She was such a happy and vibrant person.  Her years at Sherwood Park were filled with love and joy for others.  She will be missed by many 🙏

My best friend, I miss you already. There has never been time or distance to separate us during the last 55 years, nor will there be for the rest of eternity. Fred is your rock and your daughters and grandsons are your heart. The entire family has always been the definition of love, because you are love.  I love you.

I am so sorry to hear of Linda's passing. We worked together years ago at Sherwood Park Elementary.  While working together, you could see the love she had for all children.  She was a special lady and friend. Prayers for peace and comfort during this difficult
