Linda's faith was a cornerstone of her life, as she was a member of Lakeshore Methodist Church in Byram, where she found community and purpose. She loved her Sunday School class there.

Linda treasured the moments spent with her family, often seeking adventure with her sister at the casino, where she was known as the "master of the one-armed bandit", known to others as the slot machine.  Despite her personal pursuits, Linda was fundamentally selfless, always prioritizing the needs of her loved ones above her own. Her family was her world, and she consistently demonstrated that through her actions and dedication.  Linda Sue Anderson will be remembered as a loving mother, a cherished grandmother, and a steadfast friend. Her legacy of love, strength, and commitment to family will undoubtedly endure in the hearts of those she has touched throughout her life.
