Linda Darlene (Grimes) Gideon, 60, of Maljamar joined Christ June 9th, 2012.
Linda started life, May 10th, 1952, born the newest daughter of Clyde & Juanita Grimes. After graduation at Ranger High School in 1970 she began wedded bliss, with William Stephen (Bill) Gideon, on May 5th, 1971. Linda and Bill shared their years in Ranger, TX, Graham, TX and Hobbs before settling down in Maljamar, where she opened her own cafe, Linda’s Grill. Because of Linda’s zest for life, and her abundance of love, relationships flowered from customer to friend daily. Her café was a focal point in her daily life, and she loved her café and each and every person that came through the door.
