transitioned to her heavenly home on Wednesday, November  25, 2020.  Linda
was a devoted wife of 53 years to her surviving husband, partner, and
caregiver, Dale Phillips.  Linda loved Jesus and her family dearly. Born in
Nashville, TN, Linda lived the majority of her life in Tullahoma, TN, where
she graduated from Tullahoma High School (1965) and Motlow Community

talented seamstress and knitter; she loved cooking and baking, growing
flowers and birdwatching, and traveling. Linda never met a stranger and was

One of her greatest highlights in life was becoming a Mimi to her only
granddaughter, Lillie. The two were gifted nearly six years to make many
wonderful memories in Cleveland, TN, where Linda resided at home until her
passing.

After being diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, Linda participated in a drug study
at Vanderbilt Hospital to further research and progress in the field. She
also inspired many by walking in the Cleveland Walk to End Alzheimer’s. Her

Alzheimer’s Association in 2018.

Due to COVID-19, the immediate family will hold a private burial. In lieu
of flowers, the family asks that you honor Linda with a memorial donation
to the Vanderbilt Memory and Alzheimer’s Center by visiting

The family would like to express a great debt of gratitude to Linda’s
primary care physician, Dr. John Peach, and neurologist, Dr. Lealani Mae Y.
Acosta, both of Vanderbilt, for preserving her quality of life for many
years. They would also like to thank Hearth Hospice of Cleveland, TN, for
their tender love and care during Linda’s final days.
