Linda Paulette Thompson

It is with profound respect and heartfelt sorrow that we announce the passing of Linda Paulette Thompson, who departed from this life on May 31, 2026, at her home. Born on May 2, 1948, Linda lived a full and meaningful life, characterized by her steadfast dedication to family, faith, and her professional career.

Linda was a devoted freight broker, bringing her talents and commitment to a career that allowed her to contribute meaningfully to her community. She was a proud graduate of high school, a foundation that supported her lifelong pursuit of knowledge and personal growth.

On April 4, 2015, Linda married her loving husband, William (Jerry) Thompson, with whom she shared a deeply cherished bond grounded in mutual respect and affection. Linda’s life was further enriched by her Baptist faith, which provided her with strength and comfort throughout the years.

She leaves behind a loving family that her heart embraced fully. Her husband, William (Jerry) Thompson, remains a devoted partner, alongside Linda's sons and their wives, Michael Mayo and Verna Larson of Austin, Texas, and Marlin Mayo and Courtney McCollum of Southaven, Mississippi. Linda also cherished her role as a grandmother to five wonderful grandchildren, Lauren Goudie, Dusten Prigmore, Henry Lovins, Miles Mayo, and Malcolm Mayo; and a great-grandmother to three precious great-grandchildren, Alyssa Smith, Caden Goudie, and Cannon Prigmore. Her sister, Sandra Rogers of Arlington, Tennessee, survives her as well, carrying forward the shared memories and familial ties that Linda held dear.

Linda was preceded in death by her beloved parents, Marlin Robert Foster and Dorothy Sue Culver Foster; her brother, Charles Steven Foster; her daughters, Stacey Lynn Franklin and Tracey Lea Prigmore; her granddaughter, Samantha Rae Prigmore whose legacy lives on through her and her family.

Linda Paulette Thompson's life was a testament to love, resilience, and commitment. She will be remembered with respect and admiration by all who knew her, and her spirit will forever remain in the hearts of her family and friends.
