They moved to North Zulch in 1962 and she was an educator for over thirty-seven years in both the North Zulch Independent School District and the Madisonville Consolidated Independent School District. Linda believed in all of her students and was passionate about their education, encouraging everyone to go to college and get their "teaching degree". You knew if you went to the store with her, you needed to add a least thirty minutes to your shopping trip as she would always see a former student and loved to catch up on his or her life. Linda was an excellent seamstress and enjoyed reading, but mostly, she enjoyed being with her grandchildren. Linda was preceded in death by her parents; her husband of fifty-two years, Doug; her in-laws; her brother, Hal; her grandson, Trent; her brothers-in-law, Willis and Truman; and her sister-in-law, Dorothy. Linda is survived by her daughter, Cindy; her grandchildren, Cody and his wife Chelsea, Cammie and her boyfriend Cody, Tassie and her husband Vincent, and Trey; her eight great grandchildren; her sister-in-law, Jane Boyd; and numerous nieces and nephews.
