She was the second of three sisters. Linda worked as both an operator at Bell South and a manager at a Kressge Retail Store until she met and married Bobby Colvin in New Orleans on May 15, 1971. The couple then welcomed their daughter, Debra Colvin on July 8, 1972.

She loved her Thursday shopping trips with best friend, Iris, going swimming at Mimi's, and yearly vacations.

Linda was preceded in death by her parents, Alfred and Marie; husband, Bobby; and younger sister, Arleen. She is survived by her daughter, Debra; son-in-law, Timothy; granddaughter, Devora; and her older sister Bonnie.

Linda was always a women of strong faith.
