Linda always confronted life‘s challenges with strength and courage. She traveled extensively through Europe with her military husband. As a lover of food, she developed a talent for cooking.

She loved to work outdoors and could be seen riding the tractor with her grandson, Chandler, on her lap. Her love as a mother was fearless and unconditional.
In addition to her parents, she is preceded in death by her grandson; Joseph Chandler Austin, and her brother; Lonnie Ray Cox, Jr.
