LINDA LUE PACKER, a vibrant spirit who touched the lives of many, departed this world on October 15, 2025, in Dallas, Texas. Born on March 29, 1961, in the quaint town of Sayre, Oklahoma, Linda carried the essence of her childhood with her, infusing it into every corner of her life and shaping the memories she created with those around her.
A dedicated live-in caretaker, Linda embodied the meaning of kindness and compassion. She was, as they say, the salt of the earth—a person who loved fiercely and without hesitation. In her eyes, there was no room for ambivalence; she loved hard, and her generous spirit left an indelible mark on all who were fortunate enough to experience it. Friends and family will forever remember Linda as an incredible individual, one whose laughter echoed joyfully in the hearts of those she met.
Linda was not merely a caretaker—she was a nurturer of souls, someone who believed steadfastly in the goodness of people and the guiding light of her faith in God. Her trust in a higher power remained unwavering, giving her an inner strength that resonated through her interactions. A woman of remarkable character, she was fun-loving, always bringing joy to others with her warm smile and genuine interest in their lives.
Her hobbies were reflections of her loving nature. Linda spent countless hours knitting, her hands creating warmth that would eventually envelop others in love. She cherished cooking, often filling her home with the inviting aromas of her culinary creations, always eager to share a meal, a laugh, and perhaps a heartfelt story during game nights with family. She understood the value of togetherness, finding joy in the simple act of being present for her loved ones.
Among her proudest accomplishments, purchasing her own home stands out. It served not only as a shelter but also as a sanctuary, a place where love could be cultivated and shared generously with those she cared for deeply.
Linda's life will be celebrated during a viewing on October 23, 2025, at Golden Gate Funeral Home in Dallas, from 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM. Her legacy of love, laughter, and kindness will forever remain in the hearts of family and friends.
She is missed profoundly, and though her physical presence has left this realm, the impact of Linda Lue Packer—an amazing person—will echo through eternity, a testament to a life well-lived and a heart that will continue to inspire.
