Linda Anderson Porter, age 78, of Rose Hill passed from this earthly life to be at home with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

She was born on January 3, 1946, in Duplin County; the daughter of the late Willian Franklin and Lillie Benson Anderson.  She was also preceded in death by her first husband and father of her children, John Simpson "Buddy" Pike and her later husband, Henry Porter; her brothers Lester Anderson and Leonard Anderson.

Mrs. Porter was a devoted member of Corinth Baptist Church where she served faithfully as pianist, Sunday School teacher, WM Director and any other ministries she was needed.

Surviving are her loving children, William Pike and wife Debbie of Raleigh and Lavonda Teachey and husband Neil of Rose Hill; grandchildren Sunshine Johnson, Teagan Pike, Christopher Pike, Layla Daughhetee and Kayla Pike; great grandchildren, Emmett Foster, Zachary Pike and Jamahri Lucas; numerous nieces, nephews, extended family and friends that loved Linda dearly.

Linda was a loving mother and caring grandmother and friend.  She was a simple woman who enjoyed the simplest things in life but her greatest joy was loving and serving her Lord Jesus Christ and her family.   Linda was a woman of great faith and to those who knew her, "an instrument of God's love on this earth."  She never worried about anything; always trusting in the Lord with whatever life threw at her.  She was a great listener who never judged or condemned. Always finding ways to share God's love, Linda started a bible study at Daysprings to help others learn about Jesus.  Today Linda has fought her fight, she has kept the faith and has finished her course.  She is more alive today than she has ever been with the One she lived for all these years.  She will be missed here on this earth, but her family is comforted knowing that she is where she has longed to go for so long.
