March 28, 1957 - Jan. 13, 2026
Linda Pearl Gage, born on March 28, 1957, passed away peacefully on Jan. 13, 2026, surrounded by her loving family.
Linda was a kindhearted, funny, and loving woman whose warmth touched everyone she met. She was friendly, intelligent, generous, faithful, selfless, and courageous. She had a joyful spirit and could laugh at just about anything, bringing smiles and comfort to those around her.
Linda loved the simple things in life. She enjoyed cooking, helping and spending time with her grandchildren, and had a special love for children. She found joy in listening to wind chimes, watching scary movies, eating ice cream, watching hummingbirds, and sipping her coffee. These small moments brought her great happiness and peace.
Her family learned many valuable lessons from her — to keep things clean, try hard to cook good food, and most importantly, to love with all your heart. Linda lived as a strong, independent woman and left behind a powerful example of perseverance. She would want her family and loved ones to never give up.
Linda was preceded in death by her parents and two brothers.
She is survived by her stepfather, Bruce Bentham; her sisters, Christina Benson and Val Sparkes; her daughters, Heather Taylor (DC) and Kasey Henry (Mack); and her son, Adam Jones (Nikki).
She also leaves behind her cherished grandchildren, Brittany Taylor, Taylor Thomas (Keria), Mackenzie Thomas (Zoe), Raylee Henry, Addison Jones, Brantley Burton, Blake Henry, Aiden Jones, and Avery Jones; and her great-grandchildren, AJ Riegel and Dylan Thomas.
A service to celebrate Linda’s life was held Saturday, Jan. 17, 2026, at 5:00 p.m., with visitation beginning at 4:00 p.m.
Linda’s love, strength, laughter, and kind heart will live on through her family and all who were blessed to know her.
