Linda grew up on a cotton farm in Bledsoe, TX in the Fifties, where she made many lifelong friendships. She learned to work hard at a young age. Linda was on the all district basketball team. After graduating high school, she married Roy Brooks and started a family. Linda had two children, Reggie and Shaye. She devoted her life to her family and raising her kids. Linda was a fun-loving mom with a "quick wit" and was always full of love and laughter, anyone that knew her remembered her fondly as a kind and caring person.
