At 9 am on March 2, 2024, Linda Gibson Jones made an unexpected and tragic departure. Our community mourns with deep pain; yet through it all comes reflection upon an exceptional life Linda lived. Born into an incredible family environment, Linda blossomed into an exceptional source of warmth and compassion – the cornerstone of many communities, a friend to all and stranger to none alike. With several decades of professional achievements under her belt as well as personal touches that set her apart such as listening ears or constant support of those close to her that truly distinguished Linda from others.
What Does She Represent?
Linda epitomized joy and kindness; her gift lay in connecting deeply with people, offering hope even during darkest of days. Linda believed in community – strength that comes with unification – and helping those less fortunate than herself; not only leaving memories we hold dearly in her wake, but inspiring positive change within communities through small acts of kindness that made life better overall. Linda dedicated both time and resources towards making this world a better place through advocacy efforts such as making lives count or contributing financially toward worthy causes that were close to her heart.
How Will She Be Remembered?
