Linda Ann Thomas, a cherished soul known for her boundless love and kindness, passed away at the age of 53 on March 17, 2024, following a courageous battle with cancer. She departed this world at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, surrounded by the warmth of her loving family. Born on June 6, 1970, in Searcy, Arkansas, Linda's life was a testament to her unwavering spirit and her devotion to those she held dear.
Linda's journey through life was marked by her entrepreneurial spirit and her commitment to the community. As the owner of River Road Auction House, she built not just a business, but a gathering place that reflected her outgoing and caring nature. Her work was more than a career; it was an extension of her passion for bringing people together and enjoying each other's presence.
Linda was baptized early in life in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Her outgoing personality shone through in every aspect of her life, making her a beloved figure within her community and beyond.
Linda's independence and caring nature were evident in her devotion to her children. She was a beacon of love and support, always putting their needs and dreams at the forefront.
Linda is survived by a family who adored her: her husband, Shannon Thomas; her daughter, Krystal Phillips and son-in-law, Richard; her sons, Kristopher Short and James Thomas; her mother, Bonnie Jones; her brothers, Charles Jones with his wife, April, and Mark Barnett Sr. with his wife, Laurie; and her treasured grandson, Zaian Short. Each of these individuals was a precious part of Linda's world, and she leaves behind a legacy of love and caring that will forever be their guiding light.
She was preceded in death by her father, Charles Jones; her daughter, Kayla Jones; her brother, James Jones; and her sister, Bonnie Jo-an Biden. Each of them held a special place in Linda's heart, and their memories will continue to be honored through the lives of those who loved them.
The funeral service will be held at 1 p.m. on Thursday, March 21, at Cookeville Chapel of Hooper Huddleston and Horner Funeral Home. Friends and family are invited to pay their respects during the visitation from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Linda will be laid to rest at Algood City Cemetery.
Linda's life was a beautiful tapestry woven with threads of love and kindness. She was the embodiment of a loving and kind spirit, touching the lives of all who knew her. Her memory will be cherished, and her presence deeply missed.
