Linda Mae (Rogers) Reid

On Wednesday, June 8, 2016, a gentle wind blew across the land and gently took a hand. For on these winds, the angels called out the name of our Mom, Grandma and Sister – Linda Mae Reid. Linda, 71, of Forney, Texas, passed away at Plano Presbyterian Hospital, with her family at her side. A memorial service will be held at 2:00 p.m., Sunday, June 12, at New Hope Funeral Home & Memorial Gardens, 500 E. Hwy 80, Sunnyvale, Texas.

She was born June 17, 1944, in Monahans, Texas. She was a 1962 graduate of Coahoma High School. Linda married her high school sweetheart, Billy Carl Reid, in 1964. After celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary in 2014, Billy Carl passed away on March 30 of that same year.

She devoted her life to those she loved – a life well spent. And now to God, Linda’s journey is on angel’s wings on a heavenly flight towards the light. We weep for her life that is gone but in God’s love, “tis but the dawn”.
