Linda Garner Blevins

Linda Garner Blevins, 68, of North Little Rock, gained her heavenly reward on May 5. She was a nurturer by nature and served others in many capacities. Linda loved children! She would spend countless hours preparing lessons for the Bible classes that she taught in the nursery departments at her church. She even taught other people how to teach. Her legacy will continue and the materials she made will continue to bless children in the years to come. Linda loved being a Nana. Even before she had grandchildren of her own, she became Nana to 3 special boys Todd, Hunter, and Harrison, that brought much happiness to her life. When her first grandchild was born, she was on cloud 9. Linda was a hard worker. She took pride in working for the Hickingbotham family for over 30 years. They were like a second family to her. Linda loved big and, though we will miss her dearly, the love she gave lives in the hearts of those who received it. Linda is survived by her sons, Robert Blevins of NLR and Jared (Mary) Blevins of Covington, La.; her pride and joy, grandchildren, Nathan Blevins and Ana, Seth, and Cable Owen; brother, Don (Nancy) Garner; special friend, Bob Blevins; five nieces and two nephews; 17 great-nieces and nephews; one great-great niece. Visitation will be on Wednesday, May 9 at 11 a.m., Levy Church of Christ, with a memorial service to follow at 12 noon. Memorials may be made to River City Ministry.
