Linda was born on August 28, 1948, to the late Glen B. and Edna W. Sartin Facemire, both of Richwood, WV. She was born and raised in Richwood, WV and she continued to live in Richwood throughout her adult life.
Linda was lucky in life and God gave her a second mother, her sister, Annalee.
Linda loved Jesus. She was a faithful member of First Baptist Church in Richwood. Her church would occasionally give out pins for whoever had attended Sunday School or church services the most within the year; everyone knew Linda would receive the pin. Her church family became her second family and loved her dearly. Linda was most known for babysitting a lot of children in the neighborhood as a young adult; she adored children. She mostly wanted to play with toys or dance with the children to make them laugh. Their laughter made Linda happy and filled her with joy. She would often go to her sister Annalee’s house during the day (while Annalee was at work) and babysit her niece and nephew, Tammy Taylor Coleman and Robbie Taylor. Later on, she would also babysit Robbie and Tammy’s children: Tessa, Joey, Melissa, and Tiffany. Linda also loved to do household chores for her sister. They were both a huge help for each other in life.
Linda loved to draw, work puzzles, look at pictures, go shopping, babydolls, angels and talking on the phone.
In addition to her parents, Linda was preceded in death by her brothers, Bobby Ray and James Facemire; sisters-in-law, Norene, Pam and Deanna Facemire; brother-in-law, Junior Reed Taylor.
Those left to cherish her memory are her sister, Annalee Facemire Taylor, Richwood, WV; brothers, Don Facemire, Charleston, WV, Glen Facemire, Jr. (Joan), Summersville, WV, and Kenneth Dale Facemire (Debbie), Summersville, WV. Linda is also survived by numerous nieces, great-nieces, great-great nieces, numerous nephews, great-nephews, great-great nephews, and her many dear friends. Linda also had several others in life she was blessed to have met.
