She was 64 years old. Linda was married for 39 years and is survived by her best friend and husband Johnny Pittman.

She had a warrior spirit. A beautiful and petite woman, she was scared of nothing and no one. Her most recent years may have been her happiest. She was a homemaker and loved raising her Grandson Ty Swinney. She loved being at her home with the people she loved. She loved just sitting on her porch with her many flowers and plants that she was always so good at taking care of. Her bird and squirrel watching could fill entire days. She loved her children and grandchildren with great passion. Although many lived many miles away, she would always smile and light up at the mention of their names. Linda was at peace and was one with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
