Born on December 26,1948 in Mendenhall, Linda Hard lived a life marked by kindness, strength, and devotion to those she loved. She was a cherished wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend whose warmth touched everyone fortunate enough to know her.

Throughout her life, Linda Hard found joy in spending time with family, reading her bible, playing with her grandchildren, dancing to music, and talking to her grandson every morning.
