Linda married the love of her life, Robert Oneal Harry April 26, 1964 in the livingroom of Comer Baptist Church minister's home.

Known as “Brahma” to the most important people in her world. Linda was an exceptional and loving grandmother to Christopher and Mitchell Hand. She was proud to see Chris go on to marry Brooke Cottles and become a father to 4 boys; Ayden, Anderson, Aycen and Kash. She was equally as happy to see Mitch marry Sydni Boone in October of 2024. Other grandchildren include granddaughter Sydney Harry and grandson Dylan Harry.
Linda was not a woman of grand declarations but showed a quite kindness, not asking for anything in return. She always had a cup of coffee ready and a homemade treat to make the day better. We honor her by paying attention to the quiet ways to show love, respect and appreciation.
The family will receive friends on Saturday, September 6, 2025 from 9:30 am to 10:30 am at Radney Funeral Home, followed by a graveside service at 11:00 am at the Alexander City Cemetery with Randy Anderson officiating.
