Linda F. Patrick, 77, of Slidell, Louisiana, passed away on Friday, September 5, 2025, in Metairie, Louisiana.

Born November 2, 1947, Linda Lorraine Fauquier was the oldest child of the late Wilford and Hazel Fauquier.  Her siblings include Wayne (Vicky) Fauquier, Debby (Hal) Moberg and the late Mark Fauquier.

Linda graduated from Bogalusa High School, where she was known for being an excellent student and for her striking red hair.  She worked as a secretary for several attorneys and later for Gaylord Container.

Linda married the late David Patrick on August 26, 1965, and they welcomed three children Joel (Rita) Patrick, Joanna (Walter) Dennis and David Roderick Patrick, Jr. (Jennifer).  Linda was the proud grandmother of four grandsons, Joshua Dennis, Jonah Patrick, Andrew Patrick, and Luke Patrick.

Linda also loved her extended family, including her nephews Brandon (Courtney) and Brett Moberg, and Clay (Heather) Fauquier, and niece Chelsea (Dave) Fehlauer, and many other family members.

The most important aspect of Linda's life was her worship of her God Jehovah.  Linda was an avid student of the Bible from an early age and was baptized as one of Jehovah's Witnesses at age 11.

Linda served as a regular pioneer (volunteer full time minister) for over 30 years and attended Pioneer Service School several times over the years.  She enjoyed teaching others about the Bible, especially about God's promise of the resurrection and the opportunity to see our dead loved ones again.

Over the years, Linda traveled with her family and friends to attend conventions both locally and internationally and visited the World Headquarters of Jehovah's Witnesses in New York many times, where several family members including all three of her children served as volunteers.

Linda loved attending Christian meetings, reading (particularly history and studying Bible prophecy), watching old movies, having guests in her home, shopping, and spending time with dear friends like Carrie Daigle.  She loved the local Fremaux Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses and often remarked on how much she appreciated her friends' encouragement and kindness.

Over the years, Linda loved visiting her children in their homes in Texas and New York but always felt most at home down south in Louisiana.

We will miss her fine example of faith, her warm Christian hospitality, her enduring love and support, and her readiness to share a story from her deep family history.

"He is a God, not of the dead, but of the living, for they are all living to him." Luke 20:38

Memorial Services were held September 7th, 2025, at The Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witness in Slidell, La.
