Linda Sphar Obituary
Born in Pinehurst , NC, she was the daughter of the late CW4 (US Army, ret.) Grover William ""Bill"" and Isabel Elizabeth Russell Brooks. She was a resident of Allenhurst for 33 years. A proud Army brat, she was an honor graduate of H.H. Arnold High School in Wiesbaden, Germany, where she was a cheerleader, captain of the drill team and legendary as the best dancer.
Linda was alternately a bricklayer, dump truck driver and painter, but for the last eight years, she was a parts specialist at O'Reilly Auto Parts in Hinesville. She was diehard Pittsburgh Steelers fan. A beach bum at heart, any beach would do, but Panama City Beach was her happy place and its sunsets her passion. Her grandchildren were simply her world.
Outspoken and friendly, Linda never met a stranger. The friendships she made were long lasting because her ability to love was unconditional. She was loved and will be missed by everyone she met.
She is survived by her husband, Travis Sphar; her two daughters, Danielle Lea Ramsey (Josh) and Courtney Nicole Langston (Aaron); three grandchildren, Alexis Lea Rose, Emily Elizabeth and Owen Michael Bruce; two sisters, Beth ""Peanut"" Brooks Amerspek (Eric) and Debra A. Brooks Hinton; her best friend, Jennifer Harrison; and many nieces and nephews.
The family will receive visitors 6-8 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 12, at Carter Funeral Home Oglethorpe Chapel. Her funeral service will follow at 8 p.m.
Because Linda was a devoted animal lover, the family suggests memorial donations to your local or favorite animal shelter in lieu of flowers.
Carter Funeral Home Oglethorpe Chapel is in charge of arrangements. Online condolences may be made at www.CarterOglethorpe.com.
