On April 16, 2022, Linda Lee Watson, 61 of Ruther Glen, Virginia joined her heavenly family and gained her wings. She was born to Houston and Mary Doris Green on June 14, 1960 in Washington, D.C. At an early age Linda was baptized and became a member of the Washington City Church of the Brethren, Washington D.C.

Linda graduated in 1979 from McKinley Tech High School and honorably served our country for twenty years with the United States Navy. She continued her career with the Federal Government as a civil servant and was two months shy of retirement. She was currently a member of St. John Baptist Church, Woodford, Virginia. Linda was married to Michael John Watson, July 10, 1982 sharing over forty years of life and love together.

Linda was the matriarch of the family, the glue that kept everyone together. Her family and friends will remember her as a strong spirit who took pride in her family, home, and work. Her giving and nurturing nature was evidenced by her generosity and her ability  to easily convert friends into family. Linda worked hard and enjoyed the fruits of her labor, harder.
