Linda was born in Goshen, Alabama on February 20, 1950 to Myra & Ralph Pouncey. She went on to find her dream job as a cosmetologist. There seriously wasn't an occupation better suited to Linda's personality because she was such a warm and inviting person with a gift of making everyone feel at home in her presence. It was a bonus that she just genuinely loved people so very much and cared about them whether they sat in her chair or if she met them while out and about. And it didn't hurt that she also had a great gift for gab which not only put customers at ease, but they could also have a great time discussing any of the local news of interest. At home, she loved spending her free time either fishing, gardening, or fishing!! Her children couldn't have asked for a more loving or selfless mother and the grandchildren who first called her "NaNa" were her world. If more people in this world had Linda's innate grace, forgiveness, and love, it would be a far better place.

Linda was preceded in death by her grandson, Jacob Sawyer; parents, Ralph & Myra Pouncey; and brother, Gene Pouncey. She is survived by her loving husband of 47 years, Larry Tomlin; children, Christopher Scott (Tammy) King, Tabbetha Yvonne King, Jessica (Donald) Schweiger; grandchildren, Josh (Desiree) Sawyer and Ovada & Vera Schweiger; great-grandchildren, Brantly & Brenton Sawyer; siblings, Ronnie Pouncey, Sue Hughes, Doris (Terry) Moody, and Peggy (George) Tranum; and a host of nieces and nephews who she loved dearly.

Active pallbearers will be Josh Sawyer, Bryan Pouncey, Kevin Tranum, Clint Tranum, Drew McGee, and BJ Wolfe.
