Linda Gail Dickey Holder, age 69, passed away August 1, 2019, at her home in Mt. Pleasant.
Linda was born on October 28, 1949, to the late Mason Kenneth Dickey and Elizabeth Earl Dickey in Columbia, Tennessee. She retired from Hidden Acres Health Care Center and worked at many different places here in Columbia and Mt. Pleasant as an LPN for over thirty-seven years. Linda was passionate about caring for the elderly. When her mind was set on something, no one could hold her back. Her children would also tell you she was famous for her, “mom look.” She was of the Baptist faith. Elvis Presley held a firm place in her life, and she loved listening to his music and watching his movies. The love she had for her children was fierce.

Pleasant; daughter: Rochelle Ribley of Columbia; granddaughters: Jessica Graham of Thompson Station, Alexis Holder of Columbia, Kenley Holder, Alyssa Dunaway, and Karlee Dunaway of Columbia; grandsons: Jimmy Graham, II of Mt. Pleasant, Trent (Katelyn) Thomson of Mt. Pleasant, Nathan Ribley of Columbia, Aaron Holder of Columbia, Payton Holder of Columbia, Jake Holder, and Daniel Schwartz of Columbia. She also survived by her bothers: David (Kathy) Cates of Columbia, Mason Dickey of Euless, Texas, Terry (Tamara) Dickey, Rickey (Tammy) Dickey; her sister: Donna (Stanley) Walker.
