Linda was born in Detroit, Michigan to Clarence and Ada Philadelpha Bower on March 6, 1949. She is the eldest of five children –  three brothers and a sister.

She met the love of her life, Calvin in California in 1989; they have been happily married for over 30 years. She was a homemaker, devoted wife to her husband and mother to her children. She loved Jesus Christ with all of her heart and continually sought after Him. She always had worship music on in the home, enjoyed cooking for her family, going to Dana Point to see the water, and reading the Word of God and many books.

She will be incredibly missed by her husband, three daughters, eight grandchildren, and four great-grandchildren, and grand-furbaby Daisy.

We love you and miss you, dearly.
