Rutherfordton NC
Patricia Ann Horn, lovingly known as Linda Buff, passed away at the age of 63. She was the cherished daughter of Jessie Adams Buff and the late Edward Buff. Linda was the proud mother of Jason Buff.
In addition to her son and her mother, she is survived by her siblings, Billy Adams, Jenny Buff, Teresa Buff Sanjuan, Alisa Buff Alicea, Roy Buff Ramsey, and Kenny Buff. Linda also leaves to cherish her memory her fiancé, Joey Piercy as well as a number of other relatives and friends.
Linda had a heart full of warmth and kindness. She found happiness in the simple joys of life, her beloved cats, her favorite music and her daily game shows, especially The Price Is Right. Her laughter and her gentle spirit brought light to those around her.
Even though her time here was shorter than we would have wished, Linda's love and presence will live on in the hearts of all who knew her. Her memory will never be forgotten and she smiled with grace to the very end. She leaves behind a legacy of love and simplicity.
Services will be private.
