Linda Sue Alston (Brock), age 73, was called home on May 25, 2020. She was born April 9, 1947 in Lufkin, Texas to Audie and Helen Brock (Eggink) and was the oldest of five children. She married the love of her life, Larry (Jimmy) Alston in June 1965. They soon settled down and became foster parents to many, many adored children until adopting five children of their own. Linda lived life fiercely and was never afraid to give you her opinion on any matter, and she rarely backed down. She was always there when her husband or children needed her and would welcome loved ones back after disagreements, no matter the circumstance. In addition to raising their own five children, Linda and Jimmy also raised several of their grandchildren and numerous foster children during their retirement. Linda not only had a loving family life, she was also a friend to many. She and her “diva” friends would go to lunch regularly, and she enjoyed seeing them and catching up on all their lives. Linda was a devoted wife, mother, sister, daughter, grandmother and friend.
She is preceded in death by her father, Audie Brock; her brothers, Weldon and Larry Brock, and her sister, Betty Grady. She is survived by her mother, Helen Eggink; her sister, Pamela Anderson and her husband Nick; her husband Larry Alston; her children, Kevin Alston and his wife Daina, Lisa Alston, Erica Alston, Kristy Alston, and Monica Hains and her husband Jason; and her many grandchildren and great grandchildren.
Linda left a large footprint in our hearts and touched many lives. We will have many fond memories of our time with this great woman. She was deeply loved and will be dearly missed.
