Linda Dumas

It is with deep sorrow and immense love that we announce the passing of Linda Robinson Dumas, who left this world on May 10, 2026. Born on September 25, 1947, her life was defined by devotion, resilience, and generosity. She was a devoted wife, loving mother, grandmother and a second mother to so many others whose lives were touched by her kindness and guidance. Linda brightened the lives of those around her with her laughter and passion for family. Linda possessed a unique sense of humor that could lighten even the heaviest of hearts.
Her home was always open to those in need. She welcomed struggling friends and family, and anyone needing comfort with warmth, compassion, and a place to belong.
A hardworking and determined businesswoman, she balanced the responsibilities of supporting her family by working at Walmart while also running a small business. Her tireless work ethic and unwavering dedication reflected the strength and perseverance that defined her life.
She was a fighter in every sense of the word - fighting for her family, for stability, for love, and for a better future for those she cared about most. Through every hardship, she remained resilient, courageous, and deeply committed to the people she loved.
