Wyatt, Linda Boardwine

Linda Elizabeth Boardwine Wyatt, age 75 of Draper passed away Saturday, November 29, 2025 at her home. Born March 12, 1950 in Russell County, she was the daughter of the later Paul Frazier Boardwine & Maze Bell Ferrell Boardwine. She was also preceded in death by her son Jerry Allen Wyatt; brothers Arch Berdette Boardwine, Clarence Wayne Boardwine, Ronald B. Boardwine and sister-in-law Judy Boardwine.

Nana was a generous, loving soul whose free-spirited nature made every room brighter. An avid flower lover and devoted gardener, she could coax life out of any patch of soil, filling her world—and everyone else’s—with color.

She adored the thrill of a good casino night, a fresh stack of lottery tickets, and the treasure-hunt joy of estate and yard sales. If QVC had a fan club, she’d be its president.

Creative at heart, Nana loved crafting of all kinds and found joy in painting along with Bob Ross—turning blank canvases into “happy little” masterpieces.

Known in the family as the Queen of Christmas, she turned every holiday into pure magic. She delighted in spoiling her grandchildren, showering them with love, surprises, and her signature warm hugs.

Nana lived life fully, joyfully, and on her own terms—leaving behind a legacy of love, generosity, creativity, and unforgettable sparkle.
