Linda Lee Hunter, age 78, entered Heaven's gates on November 12, 2025. She was born on February 6, 1947, in Camden, Arkansas, to Katie (Ponder) and Alton Ackley. Linda attended Northwestern High School and later Baker College of Flint. A proud business owner, she operated Tax Affairs in Millington, Michigan, and devoted 40 years to her work as a bookkeeper and tax accountant.
Linda has made her home in Smyrna, Tennessee, for the past 13 years. Her passions included raising her children and spending time with family and friends. She loved playing cards, cooking, painting, sewing, decorating, and crafting. Music brought her joy, and she especially loved attending concerts and listening to bands.
Linda was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend. She knew the Lord and lived a life marked by love, generosity, and kindness. She was tender-hearted, intuitive, creative, and resourceful. She had a gift for making others feel understood and cared for. Her compassion, empathy, and gentle spirit will continue to inspire all who knew her. She will forever remain in our hearts.
