Born in Bradenton, Florida (Manatee County) to Richard Noah Green and Adonist Norton Green and has lived all over Florida and the U.S. thru her life. She was an alumni of South East High School, Class of 1971. In the last few years, she was a resident of Okeechobee, Florida and Whittier, North Carolina.  

An employee of Foster Wheeler Inc. for 26 years, she enjoyed traveling all over the country for work and the friends she made and the adventures she had along the way. Throughout her life, she has been a blessing to many and touched countless lives. Her message was always Jesus, the cross, and faith.  

Linda’s life was marked by a deep and biding faith that shaped who she was and how she loved and cared for others. Jesus was not simply a part of her life; He was the center of it. Her two sons, Jimmy and John, were her pride and joy. Her two daughters in laws, four grandsons, family, and close friends were her world.

Those who knew Linda remember her for her kindness, gentle spirit, generosity, concern for others, and her steadfast trust in Christ even thru trials. Her legacy of faith, love, and endurance will continue to live on in hearts of those who truly loved and knew her.

Linda was preceded in death by her parents, Richard and Adonist Green; her brother Ronnie Green; sister Roxine “Rocky” Wilson; and her son James “Jimmy” Santjer.
