Linda, a 1973 graduate of Montgomery Central High School, was the co-owner of Wyatt’s Body Shop and a member of the Southside United Methodist Church. Linda was a devoted wife, mother, “Grammy”, sister, aunt and friend. Linda dedicated herself to her family and friends. She enjoyed traveling, especially an annual beach vacation with her girls, and she never missed a chance to browse in a boutique, in-store or online. Linda brought beauty and style to life around her; she had an eye for making everything picture perfect. After a 2010 cancer diagnosis, she battled the disease with courage and dignity. Always with a smile for a visitor or friend and never a complaint about her situation or the hardships and side effects cancer treatments cause. She was and her family will forever be grateful for Dr. Denise Yardley, MD of Tennessee Oncology, and Dr. Bill Grabenstein, MD and their staffs. Their expertise and care provided her nine additional years with family and friends as well as the precious opportunity to know sons-in-law and grandchildren. Pallbearers will be Gene Morgan, Ray Baggett, Greg Augustine, Randy Story, Charlie Balthrop, Frank Adcock, Chad Ward, Stewart Sykes and honorary, Wyatt Balthrop.
