Linda Lee Solomon Dempsey

Linda Lee Solomon Dempsey, 88, has joined the two most important people in her Life: her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, and her beloved husband, Big Ed, who preceded her in death.

While our hearts are broken here on earth, we find great joy and comfort in knowing that she is rejoicing in heaven, reunited with the love of her life and resting in the presence of her Savior. What a beautiful thought to imagine their reunion. After all the years of love they shared, they are finally together again.

Linda was a sweet, gentle, and loving woman whose life was defined by kindness, generosity, and the selfless love of others. She had a calm and comforting spirit and a heart that always seemed to have room for one more person to love, encourage, or help. She gave of herself sacrificially, often putting the needs of others before her own. Her quiet strength, compassion, and unconditional love left a lasting impression on everyone fortunate enough to know

Her greatest blessings were her family. She was a devoted mother to her two daughters, Suzann Hobbs of Piedmont, South Carolina, and Elizabeth Hurd of Charlotte, North Carolina and her nephew Mark Solomon of Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. She adored her three grandchildren, Hunter Ennis, Tyler Ennis, and Jacob Hurd, whom she counted among her greatest blessings and loved dearly. Her heart grew even fuller with the arrival of her two great granddaughters, Madelyn and Harper of Kingsport, Tennessee. She loved them immensely and was so very proud of them.

She will be deeply missed by all who loved her. Yet, even in our sorrow, we are thankful for the promise of heaven and the assurance that this goodbye is not forever! We take comfort in knowing that she is home, reunited with her beloved big Ed, and that one sweet day through God's grace, we will see them both again.

A graveside service will be held on Friday, November 13th at 3 p.m. at Oak Hill Memorial Park in Kingsport, TN with Senior Pastor Josh Martin officiating.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to Touched By ALS (touchedbyals.org).
