She was born in Chattanooga to Raymond and Josephine Dupree on April 14, 1943. She met the love her life, Sonny McClure, in 1965 and they were married after just several weeks of dating.

Linda was preceded in death by her husband of 50 years, Sonny McClure; parents, Raymond and Josephine Dupree; sister, Mary Harris; and brother Mike Dupree.
Linda was a loving, caring, devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and great grandmother. She was a long-time member of Alpine Baptist Church and loved singing in the choir. She loved gardening and could grow anything, especially banana trees. She loved her little rescue animals and her compassion and love were tremendous.

Her battle with ALS was a difficult journey and she can only be described as on of the bravest people we have ever seen. We owe a special thank you to all the staff at Life Care of Red Bank for their love and care for her. They not only took amazing care of her, but truly loved her as family.
We will love, cherish and miss our mother every day.
