Linda was survived by her two children, Lee (Andrew) Stribling of New Orleans, Louisiana and Tina Stribling of Dallas, Texas, and her two step-children, Helen Stribling of Vicksburg, MS and Billy (Clea) Stribling of Madison, MS. All called her “mom.” Linda is also survived by a host of aunts, siblings, grandchildren, and other loving family members. She is preceded in death by her parents, Edward and Ouida Comans, and her brother, Barney Comans, all of Sebastopol.

Linda began playing the piano for the church at age 12. She continued playing either the piano or organ for the next 57 years. She had many passions, but none so great as her children into whom she poured all her love. She was the most fun person you’ve ever met.
