Linda Grace Mattingly, 76, passed away while at the Park Terrace Village in
Evansville, August 29, 2021. Linda was born in Loogootee, March 15, 1945, to
Genevive (Leach) Helm and Floyd Helm. On November 30, 1963, she married
James V. Mattingly. James joined his wife, Linda, in Heaven five days later.

employment was at the Budget Video.

Linda was blessed with many artistic and creative talents: painting, sculpting, and ceramics. She loved music and was an avid sci fi fan.
She was a Star Trek "Trekkie," and a Harry Potter fan. She loved TV mysteries, the Star Trek series and the old Hawaii 5-0 series.
Linda described herself as a "collector of collections" of various items. She was also on a bowling league.

Known to have a generous spirit, Linda loved people, made friends easily, and was
known to have never met a stranger. Most of all, she deeply loved her family, and
cherished time spent with them. She looked forward to hosting Christmas get-togethers in her beloved home.

Linda was of the Christian faith. She loved the Lord with all her heart and never failed to share and witness with all she met.

Those who now cherish Linda's memory include: her daughters, Michelle (David)
McCord of Washington; Jennifer ( Bob) Sullivan of Emison; and her son, Ryan
Mattingly of Washington. Linda was very proud of her grandchildren: Rachel
Schell; Tosha Webster; Braydon Sullivan; and Haley Sullivan; and her two great-
grandchildren: Gracie Jones, and Riverleigh Sullivan. Additionally, Linda leaves
