Linda G. Parker was called home to heaven on March 6, 2024. Her strong faith and devotion to family were the foundation of a lifetime of happiness, ups and downs, and health struggles. Linda was born on February 9, 1953, third of five children to the late Carey and Betty Goldman of Cullen, VA.

From their union they had three sons Kenneth, Kevin and Ronald Jr. Linda was a devoted nurse of Isle of Wight Health Department and Sentara Hampton General Hospital until she retired. She was highly respected by her co-workers and cherished by the patients she provided care for. Linda’s love for gardening kept her in her flower beds.
