She graduated from Smith High School in Greensboro. If anyone knew Linda, they would know her love for music was very important to her. In her early music career, she made an album with a group named "Rejoicing Sounds" and her baby grand piano was one of her pride and joys. Linda assisted with the family business, Morden Garbage, until her retirement to the Southport / Oak Island area in 2000. Survivors include two step-sons, Charles Douglas Oldham and wife Gina and William David Oldham and wife Jan; four step-granddaughters, Ava Oldham, Charly Oldham, Cambria Oldham, and Cassidy Oldham; a sister-in-law, Nanci Craig; a niece, Alyson Craig and Michael; a nephew, Justin Craig and wife Amber; four great-nieces, Hartley Metcalfe, Kinsley Craig, Daphne Craig, and Chole Craig. She was preceded in death by her husband, Billy Charles Oldham; and a brother, Jerry Craig.
A celebration of her life will be held at 1 p.m. on Saturday, January 27, 2024 at Bethel Baptist Church. There will be a reception following the service in the church fellowship hall.

So heartbroken to hear of my second cousin Linda's passing. I have such fond memories of this beautiful lady when I was a child and my family attended Glenwood Friends Church in Greensboro. I was mesmerized by Linda's array of beautiful rings and dresses, she looked like a movie star and was always smiling. Her voice was just amazing and she was my father's (Dale Gupton) favorite cousin. My father's mother Helen Craig Gupton was Linda's father Junior Craig's sister. Linda was always so nice to me and I'd hoped to be able to see her again someday. My dad passed away in 2017, I'm sure they are in Heaven laughing and remembering the good old days. My sincere condolences to all the family and to all those that loved her.
