Linda was a wonderful caregiver. Helping friends and family however she could. She used her best talents to comfort and show affection to others through her cooking. Linda was known and well respected for her cooking prowess throughout her family and community. So much so that she successfully reopened The Cajun Creole restaurant in Raceland, La; as its Owner/Operator. Linda was a deeply religious person, a moniker she held proudly as a leading member of her Baptist Christian communities and churches. Even as her mobility deteriorated; her passion for religion and inspirational messages remained fully intact. Carrying great conversations and uplifting teachings that called back to her most treasured believes in God and The Bible. Linda leaves behind a great positive impression on those she crossed paths with, in life. Her selfless attitude with volunteer works, her ability to comfort those around her, through food and conversation, and her unwavering loyalty to her church and family; are just a few ways in which her memory will live on.
Falgout Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements.
