Linda was born on March 15, 1947 to her parents, Earnie and Edna Higginbotham in Leesville, LA. Linda went to have coffee with Jesus at 7:27 AM, January 30th 2023. She was surrounded by family and was never alone as she made her ascendance.
Daughter, Sister, Mother, Grandmother, Aunt, Cousin and Friend. She was all of these things and more. She counseled those that needed it, she said what was on her mind, she loved to laugh and get her hands dirty in the garden. Dancing, or poppin’ as she would say, around as she tidied up the kitchen or made some biscuits was her happy place. You couldn’t help but be in a better mood when you left her side when she was laughing and cuttin’ up.
She was a gifted artist, she drew hundreds of sketches, paintings and drawings. Some of the things she loved were morning glories, scripture, gardening, Gunsmoke, any western with Matt Dillon in it. She was a country girl with a rock and roll soul.
She loved her bible and to journal scripture, family events and thoughts. She left many hand written journal books dated back as far as the late 70’s.
She was preceded in death by her son: Kenny Baker, brother: Michael Higginbotham, mother: Edna Higginbotham, and father: Earnie Higginbotham.
She is survived by her Children: Jami Jeane of Evans, Janis Bridge and husband Mark of Anacoco, Joey Jeane of Enid, Ok, Julee Williams and husband Mark of Burr Ferry, Larry Schneider and wife Dana of Waukomis, OK, and Melanie Kerr and husband Dustin of Covington, OK.
