STOUGH (Matthews), Linda Jane

Linda Stough passed away February 20, 2024 surrounded by family. Our mom was many things to people - grandma, cousin, aunt, second-mother, friend, and loving caregiver. Her life was spent in service always helping when needed most. Whether making hot meals after loved ones passed or helping someone get "back on their feet" it was her self-appointed life duty to serve others.

She taught us to be loving parents, work hard, and always help if you can.

A private family celebration of life will be held.

In lieu of flowers, please feel free to donate in her honor to either: https://www.cancer.org OR https://www.heart.org.

Retired Army Lt. Col. Raquel Durden, who was named Georgia Woman Veteran of the Year, rode in the Georgia Veterans Day Parade in Midtown Atlanta on Saturday, Nov. 8, 2025. In 2018, the Bogart resident cofounded a nonprofit for female veterans and first responders called Humble Warrior Wellness & Yoga. It brings them together for walks, workshops and retreats, helping them form friendships, avoid isolation and practice mindfulness. “God just picked me up,” said Durden, a cancer survivor, “and put me on a different path.” (Ben Gray for the AJC)
