Linda B. Marshall

A teacher takes a hand, opens a mind, and touches a heart, guiding us to explore not just the classroom, but the world.

Linda B. Marshall of Kingsport went home to be with her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, on Saturday, February 14, 2026. She was born in Kingsport to the late Leroy and Pauline (Fugate) Burrell. Mrs. Marshall was a graduate of Dobyns-Bennett High School and East Tennessee State University. She retired after 32 years from Sullivan County Department of Education as a former teacher at Arcadia Elementary and Kingsley Elementary Schools. 

Linda was a loving wife, mother, and grandmother who enjoyed spending time with her family. She enjoyed reading, studying the Bible, traveling, and visiting the historical history of other parts of our country. After her retirement, she and her husband visited all 50 states.
