Linda was born December 11, 1945, to the late Mr. George Clifton Pierce and Mrs. Gladys Elizabeth (Tannahill) Pierce. She departed this life Friday, March 14, 2025, at her home in Healdton.

Linda graduated from Graham High School in 1964, marking the beginning of a life dedicated to service and care. In 1981, she was saved and baptized at the First Missionary Baptist Church, a profound spiritual moment that underscored her commitment to both her faith and her family. For ten years, Linda delivered the Daily Oklahoman in the Healdton area, establishing connections that reflected her outgoing personality and willingness to serve her community. Her passion for helping others led her to pursue a career in nursing; she returned to school and proudly became a Licensed Practical Nurse, graduating in 1991. Linda worked at various nursing homes before joining the Veterans Center in 1995, where she dedicated herself to caring for those who had bravely served the nation. She retired from this position in 2012, leaving behind a legacy of compassion and professionalism that her colleagues will remember.
