Linda Black
Linda Butler Black, 70, of Benton, Arkansas entered the presence of our Lord on May 22, 2018. She was born August 1, 1947 in Vicksburg, Mississippi to the late Noel, Jr. and Mary Lorraine (Gamble) Butler.
Linda loved serving the Lord and was a member of Pilgrim Rest Missionary Baptist Church. She worked as a manager and retired from the Boiler Division for the State of Arkansas. Her grandchildren were so dear to her and she enjoyed supporting all their events. Family and friends remember her as being "prim, proper, and always put together." Linda was talented in many crafts and created personalized scrapbooks for her family. Traveling and spending time outdoors were special times Linda looked forward to.
