Linda was born October 14, 1955 in Walterboro, SC. Linda worked at Savannah River site for 21 years until her retirement in 1998. During 23 years of marriage, Linda provided Love, Support and Guidance for her Husband Steve. While Linda struggled with many dehabilitating illnesses over the years, she never complained or questioned her health challenges. On her worse days she spoke of others and concerned herself about their wellbeing. She faced illness with courage and strength and remained positive until her last breath. The support of her close family and cousins sustained her daily. Her bravery has been an inspiration to those who knew her. Her love for God was stronger every day and as her light dimmed she made best friends with the nurses who loved and cared for her to the end.
Linda is survived by her Husband Steve, her mother Mary B. Abbott, her father Wade H. Murdaugh Cora, her Mother in Law, Hildegard Whitley, her sisters, Kaye McNeil Ric, Peach Abbott-Douglass Marion and Pamela Foreman Ashley; brothers, Joel H.
