Linda Janice Powers(Ms Ann) 78, passed away peacefully on December 6, 2025. Born on May 14, 1947, in Houston, Texas, Linda was the beloved daughter of Oliver Leslie and Robbie Lee Powers.

Linda's greatest joy was her family.

She was preceded in death by her parents Oliver Leslie and Robbie Lee Powers, her brothers Kenneth L. Powers and Larry D. Powers

She leaves to cherish her memory her devoted daughter, Alisha Lerch, and her cherished grandsons, Mark Anthony Lerch II and Malcolm Andrew Lerch, who brought immense pride and happiness into her life. She also leaves five siblings Leslie Tyrone (Ruth), Robbie Loretta Avery, (Nick), Oliver Leland (Alice), Avis LaNell Deliphose and Elton Leclair (Francine) and a large circle of very special nieces and nephews who held a meaningful and enduring place in her heart, along with a host of relatives, coworkers and friends.

Linda will be remembered for being a loyal confidante! Her loyalty, kindness, humor and the love she poured into her family and all those fortunate enough to know her. Her legacy lives on in the memories she created and the lives she shaped with her compassion.

Her family will forever honor her life, her laughter, and her unwavering love.
