Linda Bell laid to rest on June 11th, 2022 in Little Elm, Texas and was born on Feb. 21, 1949 in New Haven, Connecticut .
Linda was also known as GMA, Grandma, and Great Grandma, to many of her kids friends as Mrs J and Mom.
Linda was a dedicated and baptized Jehovah’s Witness. She had an earthly hope to be resurrected when perfect conditions are on earth as promised in Revelation 21:3, 4. She spoke about the resurrection hope to all who felt sad from a loss of a loved one. She loved helping anyone who needed it, even if you didn’t think you did. Some scriptures she used often was John 5:28, 29 and John 17:5 when she talked to people.
She loved travelling to see all her kids nationwide. Always with a mission to help them conquer a project. She loved giving, even her last dollar to those in need. She loved gardening and learning about nutrition. She even learned how to lay bricks for a walkway. If she didn’t know something, she would research how to do it. Many found peace in the words she wrote for those in mourning.
Linda is preceded in death by her mother, Marjorie Pendred, father, Addison Beckwith, brothers; Paul Ashby, Danny Mikolinsky, and grandson Jaime Johnson.
Linda is survived by her children: James Johnson (Wisunee), Robert Johnson Aceto (Carol), Albert Johnson (Cindy), Karen Brown, Lynda Mullings (Daniel), Roxanne Lilly (Dana), Kristina Qualls (Lee), Albert Gammons, Valerie Brown (Paul), grandchildren; Daralyn Johnson, Birgetta Johnson, Maximus Johnson, Cristle Lynn Wilson (Eric), Robert Johnson, Emily Hollingsworth (Alexander), Mario Johnson, James Albrikes (Lydia), Casey Albrikes, Jessica Lonergan, Tiffany Lee (Sam), Rabecca Pineiro (Kevin), Alexander Mullings, Sidney Mullings, Jacob Lilly, Carson Lilly, great grandchildren; Erin Wilson, Jack Lee, Adalae Lee, Brendon Qualls, Bryson Qualls, Brantley Qualls, Joslyn Gammons, Chandler Gammons, Irelynd Gammons, Ivy Gammons, Killian Brown and beloved dog Silo.

Linda will be greatly missed. I always enjoyed seeing her each year at Roxanne’s although she rarely sat still long enough for a long conversation. She was always kind to me and was very encouraging about the struggles I shared with her. I will miss her. See you in the Paradise, Linda.

She was special. People like her don’t come along very often. I will miss her always.

My condolences to your entire family. It is amazing how many lives this one woman has impacted. She was probably the most unselfish person I’ve ever met and she wouldn’t think twice about helping someone else even if it meant that she would have to do without. So very sorry for your loss. 🙏

Linda and I worked together in service on Wednesdays for many weeks years ago. She always was devoted to helping others learn about the Bible and spoke often of her children and her beloved grandchildren. She will surely be missed. Condolences to the family from Sis Clark & family.

You were the best Mommy friend a person could have! I know we will see you again but that doesn’t make the hurt any less. The void in my life is reminded daily as I go to call you to talk out the days event. I will deeply miss our conversations.
I hope all the future generations remember to make memories with excursions. This was going to be your year with the family. To show up every event and create memories.
We will keep it going.
We will Miss you until we see you again <3
We love you deeply

May Jehovah bless you as you mourn the loss of your mother. It sounds as though she was one who was like what Job said about being at rest until Jehovah calls. No safer place to be than in Jehovah‘s memory.
