Linda Sue Kilgore

October 3, 2024

FORT BLACKMORE, VA - Linda Sue Kilgore, age 76, of Fort Blackmore, VA, passed away peacefully on Thursday, October 3, 2024.

Born into a military family, Linda had the unique experience of graduating from high school in Spain while her father was stationed overseas. She later earned her Bachelor's degree in Nursing from East Tennessee State University (ETSU), pursuing a lifelong passion for caring for others. Linda dedicated her career to nursing, a field she deeply loved. After retiring, she found joy in tending to her flowers, cultivating beauty in her garden as she had done throughout her life.

She was preceded in death by her parents, B.C. and Lois (Fraysier) Brickey of Fort Blackmore, VA.

Linda is survived by her daughter, Tina Carter of Gate City, VA; her son, Robert Craft and wife Susan of Palo Alto, CA; her brother, Ronnie Brickey and wife Carolyn of Front Royal, VA; and her cherished grandchildren, Kaleb, Jacob, and Madi Carter.

In keeping with Linda's wishes, services will be private.

Special thanks to Nova Healthcare in Weber City, VA and their exceptional staff and the staff of Caris Hospice.

Trinity Memorial Centers Funeral Home (423-723-8177) is honored to serve the family. Online condolences may be shared at www.trinitymemorialcenters.com.
