John 14 :1-2 Linda's spirit is there now, home with JESUS. Separation from love ones is not easy but we rejoice that there is a home for us beyond the space, time, and confines of this universe.

You are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time of losing Linda! She was a wonderful Christian woman that I have always looked up to since I was a small girl. I pray that God will wrap His arms around all of you and comfort you as only He can. I am so sad but know that she is not in pain and is in heaven with all of her loved ones and her Heavenly Father. I know Linda loved all of you more than life itself. What a blessing she was to all who knew...

Linda Louise Pridemore Wilburn, age 72, died peacefully on August 23, 2018 at her home with family, after a long and hard battle with cancer. Linda was born on July 12th, 1946 in Coleman, TX, the daughter of Ralph and Louise (Knowles) Pridemore.
Linda thoroughly enjoyed playing with her grandkids and her great grandkids. She had a love for the church and Jesus, and was a former member of Harvest Church and Prestonwood Baptist Church where she was a member of the church, attended bible school, and volunteered at numerous women’s and prayer groups. She was a current member at Oakmont Baptist Church. She adored kids and one of her most rewarding jobs was the ability to open a daycare where she was able to teach and mentor young children. She was always successful at everything that she touched. People remember Linda as having a huge heart, great sense of humor, love for her family, raising her 4 sons, loving the Lord, and always putting people first. She was fond of arts and crafts, sewing, and playing games with her family.
In 1964, Linda married the love of her life, Howard Mac Wilburn in Abilene, Texas. They moved to Dallas, Texas shortly after being married to raise a family and start her successful real estate career. Mr. Wilburn started a real estate appraisal company that he still operates and manages today. Linda worked at the practice as a partner, office assistance, and operations manager for more than 20 years.
She is survived by her husband, Mac and her 4 wonderful sons that she was so proud of: Shane Wilburn of Haltom City, Texas; Tim Wilburn of Dallas, Texas; Todd Wilburn of Bonham, Texas; and Tad Wilburn of Shady Shores, Texas. Brothers Skip Pridemore of New Mexico and Randy Pridemore of Indiana. Linda is also survived by 9 grand-children and 4 great-grandchildren.
She is preceded in death by her mother and father, Ralph and Louise (Knowles) Pridemore, and her brother, Rodney Pridemore.
Please come celebrate the life of Linda Wilburn at Southmont Baptist Church on Saturday, September 15th at 1pm located at 2801 Pennsylvania Drive in Denton, TX 76205.
The family wanted to share one of her favorite quotes from 2 Timothy 4:6-8:
“For I am already being poured out like a drink offering, and the time for my departure is near. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day – and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing.”
