Linda was born August 15, 1952 in Cleveland, Ohio to JC and Helen Everhart. During her childhood Linda also lived in Pennsylvania, Trinidad, and Tennessee. After graduating from Alcoa High School she attended Carson Newman University in Jefferson City, Tennessee where she received a Bachelor's Degree in Education. Linda married the love of her life, Kenneth Bean, in Maryville, Tennessee on April 6, 1974. She went on to have three children--Kristen, Karen, and John--whom she raised with a tremendous amount of love and Christian values. Kenny's time in the Air Force took the family to Montgomery, Alabama and San Antonio, Texas where they settled. Linda was a valued member of Live Oak First Baptist Church where she taught Sunday School, sang in the choir, directed Vacation Bible School, and made a large number of life-long friends. Linda went back into the field of teaching in 1995 and taught at Eisenhauer Rd. Baptist Church, Montgomery Drive Elementary School, and Dellview Elementary School. She retired from teaching in 2016 to spend time with her grandchildren who were the pride of her life. Linda truly exhibited Christ in her life and was a selfless and incredibly loving wife, mom, grandmother, and friend.
