Faith, Family, & Kindness
Linda joined our Shelbina family in May 2024. She was born in 1947 at Samaritan Hospital in Macon, Missouri, and grew up in the Redman and Ten Mile areas.
As a child, Linda loved to color, read, and play with the family dog. She attended a country school before moving to the consolidated Atlanta School District and later graduated from Macon High School in 1965.
Linda is the proud mother of two daughters, Kimberly and Melissa. One of her favorite memories is when her daughters were born. Her favorite family vacation was a trip to Branson, where they made many wonderful memories together.
Those who know Linda describe her as one of the sweetest people you’ll ever meet—always thinking of others before herself. She enjoys joining us for group outings, playing bingo and word searches, and spending time on her phone or tablet. Most of all, she treasures every visit with her daughters, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.
Her favorite saying is one she truly lives by: “Treat people the way you wish to be treated.”
We are so thankful to have Linda as part of our Baptist Homes family. Her kind heart, joyful spirit, and gentle presence brighten our days, and we truly enjoy every moment spent with her.
