Linda attended McClenaghan High School and later received her diploma from Poyner Adult Education in 1985. She worked at Electric Motive for many years and later was a dedicated employee of S&W Sneed Manufacturing Company from where she retired. She joyfully continued to work from home making folders for S&W even after retirement. She was a member of New Hope Baptist Church of Florence, SC where she played guitar and sang with her husband, Elwood. She enjoyed spending time with her loved-ones, family game nights, and a good cup of coffee. Many who loved her, knew her affectionately as “Grandma”.
