Ms. Linnie was a kind, sweet spirited lady who always welcomed you with a smile.  She loved her Dickson and would find her at so many community functions.  She was crowned Hampton High Queen in August 2018.

She is survived by her devoted cousins; Linda M. McMurtry of Chicago, IL, many other devoted cousins. And a host of other relatives and friends. Other than her parents and brother, she was preceded in death by her cousins; Dorothy Jean Jackson and Margaret A. Brown.
