Linda Barrow Kyd

Linda passed away unexpectedly on March 7, 2025, in Charlotte, NC. She was a beloved sister, aunt and friend. She will be missed for her dry wit, kind heart, and her unmistakable laugh. Her quick comebacks were legendary and kept her sisters and friends on their toes. She was loyal to her family and took great care of her aging parents in their final years. Linda found unwavering companionship in her two beloved dogs, Ellie and Reston, who brought her great joy and unconditional love.

Linda was born and raised in Charlotte. She attended East Mecklenburg High School and after graduating moved to Atlanta then Roanoke, Virginia, pursuing a career in the insurance industry, most notably with Atlantic Mutual Company.

She is survived by her loving sisters, Margaret Kyd Frucht (Jerry), Lisa Kyd Frucht (Barry), and Cathy Kyd Stroud (Steve), as well as her nieces and nephews; Rebecca, Jessica, Joshua, Michael, Caroline, and Jacob.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Thad Hollenbeck Kyd and Vivian Barrow Kyd, and her sister, Vivian Irene Kyd.

Linda’s presence was deeply felt by those closest to her. She will be remembered for her quiet strength and the simple yet meaningful ways she showed she cared.
