Linda was a lifelong musician. Linda’s goal when she began learning to play the piano was to be a church pianist which she began as a teenager and continued into her 80s. Her musical career included playing piano in various churches all over Northeast Louisiana for several decades. Linda accompanied numerous choirs, musicals, and church performances throughout the area. Her God-given musical talent was not wasted but given generously and unselfishly for so many events and church services through the years. She was never more energized than when playing a challenging piece of music for an appreciative audience or accompanying a soloist. Playing for shows at ULM or Strauss Theater was an honor and a pleasure for Linda. Beyond playing piano her greatest passion was being showered in love by her children and grandchildren.

Pallbearers will be Joe Stokes, Tim Baker, Casey Hodge, Tim McIlveene, Jeremy Reynolds, and Ralph Calhoun
