Linda Mock Forsyth

Linda was the daughter of the late Charles and Lillie Mae Mock of Brunswick, GA. Linda is survived by one daughter, Sherril L. Sumner of St. Simons Island, GA, and one son, Donald R. Forsyth of Brunswick, GA. She was predeceased by one son, John C. Sumner; one sister, Barbara E. Mock; and three brothers Edward O. Mock, Charles N. Mock, and Ronald Mock. Linda also leaves behind many nieces and nephews, all of whom she loved dearly.

Born January 19, 1941 in Brunswick, Linda was a life-long resident of Glynn County. She attended St. Joseph's Catholic School and graduated from Glynn Academy in 1959.

Linda was as a certified Legal Secretary, having worked for Former First Federal Bank President Ben Slade, Former Superior Court Judge Blenn Taylor, Former State Senator Bill Littlefield, The Glynn County Board of Commissioners, and she retired from the Glynn County District Attorney’s office.

Linda was a devout Catholic and an active member of St. Francis Xavier Church. She had a very compassionate heart, and enjoyed volunteering her time at St. Vincent de Paul charity in Brunswick, GA. Those who knew her will remember her very kind, warm, and out-going personality. Linda was also an animal lover and a devoted advocate for the protection of animals. She was a member of the Doris Day Animal Foundation and PETA. Linda also loved music and instilled in her children a love of the classics. Linda was a very talented pianist, though few people may know. Linda studied piano for 10 years as a child and young adult; those lucky enough to hear her play were never disappointed.

Her family would like to give special thanks to her oncologist, Dr. Antonio Moran and his staff. Dr. Moran’s compassion for Linda and the needs of her family set a standard for all physicians to follow. Her family would also like to thank Annette Staats, James Vivenzio, and Peter Vivenzio, who gave so much support and comfort to Linda during her battle with cancer.

Unfortunately, due to the ongoing pandemic, Linda’s funeral will be limited to a grave-side service on Wednesday, June 10, 2020 at 11AM in Palmetto Cemetery with Father Tim McKeown officiating. Linda cherished her relationships with her friends and family, and would have loved a large gathering, however out concerns for public health and safety, that will not be possible.

In Lieu of flowers, please make donations to St. Francis Xavier Church, St. Vincent de Paul, or the Humane Society of Glynn County, GA. Edo Miller and Sons Funeral Home is entrusted with arrangements. www.edomillerandsons.com
