Linda Haddox was born on April 8, 1955 in Crystal Springs, to Jessie H. Armstrong Jr. and Mary Helen Chandler Armstrong.

Mrs. Haddox was a homemaker. She was a member of Calvary Baptist Church in Bassfield.  Linda loved her family and the outdoors.  God gave her a heart for the needs and well-being of others.  She was a blessing to all that knew her.  Due to crippling arthritis, she spent her last few years in a nursing home where she blessed the staff, residents and anyone that came through the doors with her kind words. She will be greatly missed and as her nurse stated, “Linda was something else”.     

She was preceded in death by her father, Jessie H. Armstrong and mother, Mary Helen Armstrong; and one brother, James R. Armstrong.

Mrs. Haddox is survived by her husband, Wes Haddox of Carson; two sisters, Betty Ann McLeod (Norman) of Mendenhall and Laura M. Sample of Booneville; two brothers, David R. Armstrong (Sharon) of Shivers and Donald D. Armstrong (Jeanette) of Sumrall.
