Linda Gaston Obituary
Linda Wear Gaston, 80, of Morning Pointe Assisted Living in Athens, passed away on Wednesday, Nov. 6, 2024. She was born Dec. 29, 1943, in Baltimore, Md. She lived in Nashville/Brentwood for almost 50 years. She was preceded in death by her husband of 50 years, Ben "Ed" Gaston Jr.; her parents, Harley and Frances Green Wear; brother-in-law, Marvin Taylor; in-laws, Ben Sr. and Ruth Gaston; and sister-in-law, Cissie Joines. She leaves behind her sister, Karen Wear Taylor; brother-in-law, Tommy Joines; nephew and nieces, Jimmy Taylor and Shannon Taylor of Stuart, Fla., Faye Strauss (Jim) of Covington, Ga., Jennifer Taylor and Leslie Taylor of Cumming, Ga., and Cathie Foster (Philip) of Lenoir City; and a very special niece, Jenny McDonald of Etowah. We would like to thank the following sitters that took care of Linda after a fall she had last February: Jamie McKee, Valerie Young, Patsy Versace, Teresa Painter, Valerie Koman, Kimber Davis, Susan Breen, Teresa Stone, Paige Brock, Barbie Farrell, Darla Henley and Sue Sutton; and supervisor and a very special sitter, Linda McInturff. There will be no formal service. All Linda wanted was for her ashes to be kept with Ben's ashes. Bordwine Funeral Home of Etowah is in charge of arrangements.

Linda was a very sweet lady whom I grew to love and enjoy while I was given the opportunity to help take care of her. Always enjoyed talking about our times in Nashville and of course the Chocolate no bake cookies that she seem to love so well. She was such a humble and gentle soul that never complained but now may she rest easy. No doubt her reunion with Ben was wonderful as she always spoke so highly of her beloved husband. Fly high Linda!
