Linda Louise Parker of Midlothian VA, and formerly of Hampton VA, died peacefully at home, on October 25, 2020 after a 2 year battle with ALS. She was pre-deceased by her parents, Marvin C. and Ethel Louise Parker and her brother, Charles (Red) Parker all of Hampton; and her sister, Barbara (Bobby) Leadman of Midlothian. She is survived by her brother Ronald (Tom) Parker (Debie); nieces Karen Macri (Chuck); Kathleen McCrea (Mike); Kristine Hall (Rob); Marnie Leadman; April Parker; Jessica Baughman (Grayson); nephew Scott Leadman, and brother-in-law Roger Leadman, along with numerous grand nieces, nephews and cousins. While living in Hampton, Linda worked many years at Parker Plumbing and later retired from Ukrops Dress Express as a commercial clothing sales associate. Linda was naturally artistic, whether it was fashion illustration, oil painting, or preparing intricate delicacies for the annual Parker family Christmas party which she hosted.  She loved old movies, history, read voraciously, and loved NASCAR, especially when Denny Hamlin was in the lead!

Always ready to try new things, but never forgetting past, Linda's style, grace and sharp wit will be missed by all who knew her.
