She had just celebrated her 68th birthday. Born on Dec. 2, 1953, in Sumter, Linda was a daughter of Marie L. Ard Hansen and the late John Leon Ard. She was the loving and adored wife of Greg A Ross for 46 years. Linda was loved by everyone who knew her. Her kind, gentle and loving spirit impacted everyone she met. God blessed her with a servant's heart, always concerned and caring for those that she loved. She was not burdened by the love of money or material things and was truly an example of what it means to be "Christ-like." She graduated from Wilson Hall school in Sumter in 1972. Following, she went on to complete the nuclear medicine program at the school of Nuclear Medicine Technology, Baptist Hospital in Columbia, and served in the field of nuclear medicine for more than 10 years. She eventually transitioned over into industrial distribution and excelled in inside sales, until her retirement in 2018. Linda was practiced at the art of stained glass and created many beautiful art pieces that now adorn their home. She was a member of Riverland Hills Baptist Church. For more than 20 years, Linda donated to the Newberry Boys Farm in Newberry and to "Our Daily Bread" ministries. She is survived by her husband, Greg A. Ross; daughter, Virginia C. Geddings of Lexington; son, Gregory A. Ross Jr. (Kaitlin) of Ponte Vedra, Florida; mother, Marie L. Ard Hansen of Sumter; sister, Ginger Moore (Tommy) of Rembert; and her brother, John Ard (Mildred) of Manning. Linda loved being "Nana" to her five grandchildren: Olivia M. Geddings, Sauyer A. Geddings and Wesley C. Geddings (Virginia R. Geddings), Gregory Rivers Ross and James Reagan Ross (Alan and Kaitlin Ross). They were her pride and joy. She will be greatly missed by all of them. Celebration of life service will be held at noon on Wednesday at Dunbar Funeral Home, Dutch Fork Chapel. Gathering of family and friends will be one hour prior to the service at the funeral home. In lieu of flowers, the family would kindly request donations be made to Newberry Boys Farm in Newberry. Memories may be shared at www.dunbarfunerals.com. [1, 2, 3] | |
