October 25, 1960 ~ February 19, 2026 (age 65)
Linda Jayne Monroe passed into the presence of her Savior on February 19, 2026.
She was born on October 25, 1960, in Birmingham, Alabama. After attending Banks High School, she settled down in Pinson, Alabama, to raise her family. In 1999, she went to work for the United States Postal Service. Eventually, she transferred to Auburn, Alabama, where she worked as a letter carrier until she retired in June 2022. Active in her church, she traveled on numerous medical and dental mission trips to Honduras. Outside of work and her church, Linda enjoyed a number of hobbies, including camping, hiking, gardening, bird watching, and motorcycle riding. But her favorite pastime, and the one she enjoyed the most in retirement, was sewing and quilting. She covered the furniture in the house with many of her creations.
Linda was preceded in death by her father, James Turner, her mother, Miriam Turner, and her sister, Carol Turner.
She is survived by Scott, her husband of 23 years, her son Michael Lawson (Julie), her daughter Sarah Knight (Simon), her brother Jimmy Turner (Linda), five grandchildren and one great-granddaughter, and numerous nieces and nephews.
