Wilson, Linda Richardson
Linda Richardson Wilson, age 75, of Dublin, Virginia, passed away peacefully at home on May 18, 2024. She was preceded in death by her parents, O.J. and Glennis Richardson and her husband Thomas Wilson.
Linda grew up in the Riner community and graduated from Auburn High School in 1970. Linda was a Certified Nurse’s aide and worked at Heritage Hall in Blacksburg for many years. Linda was short in stature, but stood tall as a strong, loving and determined woman. When Linda was not working, you might find her listening to her favorite musician, Elvis Presley, singing his beautiful hymns, or watching her favorite baseball team, the New York Yankees. Linda also enjoyed doing various craft projects, which included crocheting. Linda and her three sisters, known as the “Young Believers,” sang together at various church and community events.
She is survived by her daughter Stephanie Hill, two grandchildren, Tyler Wilson and Katie Hill, and one great grandchild, Apollo Hill. Also, surviving are her three sisters, Sandy Brunner, Marsha Pack (Butch) and Kathy Bunn (Doug). Other surviving family members are: Linda’s nieces, Kimberly Banks, Kristi Pack, Maison Bunn, and nephews Jared Brunner (Ashley), Brian Bunn (Emily), and Brandon Bunn (Sarah), and several great-nieces and nephews. Linda was blessed to have three loving aunts, Janet Shelburne, Judy Clingenpeel and Margaret Richardson and their families.
The family expresses their sincere appreciation for the Good Samaritan Hospice Care. A special thank you to Danielle and Mary Lee.
The family will be receiving visitors at 2:00 pm on Sunday, May 26th at Horne’s Funeral Home. A Memorial Service will follow the Visitation, beginning at 3:00 pm.

Sandy as a fellow Auburn classmate I knew your whole family. We all are leaving this world one at a time but if Christ is our Saviour we are headed to a much better place. God bless you all.

How sad to see the passing of this wonderful person! She was my best friend and support system in the later 70s! She held my hand when I cried, pushed me through LPN school and helped me with babysitting my son Brian. We shared many, many laughs during those years.
I remember when she found out she was pregnant with Stephanie and how excited she was!!
Prayers and thoughts to the family.
R.I.P. sweet Linda
