Linda was a member of the Warren High School Class of 1959. On October 27, 1959 she wed Odis Walter Gill and from that marriage two children were born; a daughter, Sheila Ann Gill of Rural Bradley County and a son, Joe Alan Gill now deceased. Linda was blessed with two Grandsons, Hunter Gill and Cody Gill.

Linda never met a stranger; was all smiles and very kindhearted. She loved the outdoors:  hunting deer, turkey and squirrels. One could also find her often fishing in her healthy years. Linda’s career spanned the gamut of clerk, secretary, Arkansas Abstractor and stints as receptionist for Dr. Whaley and Dr. Wharton of Warren. She was a member of the First Assembly of God Church. 

No words can convey Linda’s capacity to love and care. She without doubt will be missed and remembered as an awesome daughter, sister, friend, wife, mother, grandmother, aunt and above all a Christian Woman. 

Graveside service was 2:00 p.m. Thursday, June 12, 2025 at Moseley Cemetery. Burial was in Moseley Cemetery by Frazer’s Funeral Home.
