Linda Pope Spence, age 83, passed away peacefully on February 22, 2026, surrounded by her loving family. She was born on January 23, 1943, in Bainbridge, Georgia, to Curtis and Mildred Pope. As the eldest of five children, Linda naturally stepped into a role of leadership and love that would define her life.
After graduating from high school in 1960, she moved to Atlanta, Georgia, where she began working and soon met the love of her life, Vernon Spence. The two married in July 1961 and shared nearly sixty wonderful years together, building a life centered on faith, family, and community. Following their marriage, Linda and Vernon settled in Walnut Hill, Florida, a small town outside of Atmore, before moving to Geneva, Alabama, in 1972, where they made their permanent home. Linda devoted herself fully to raising her four children as a stay-at-home mother, creating a home filled with warmth, encouragement, and unconditional love.
Once all of her children were in school, Linda began working outside the home. She first worked in insurance for many years with Sconyers Insurance before embracing her entrepreneurial spirit. In the late 1980s, she opened a gift shop, Southern Manor, where her love for all things elegant and dainty was evident in every thoughtful touch. Approximately eight years later, she expanded her talents by opening a restaurant and catering business, Hen Feathers. Linda was an exceptional cook, a gift she learned while living with her grandmother, and her meals became legendary among family, friends, and the community she served.
Linda was a faithful and devoted member of First Baptist Church, Geneva, Alabama, where she was an active member of the choir and taught Sunday School for many years. Her voice, lifted in worship, revealed the quiet joy and steadfast faith that defined her life and touched the hearts of all who heard her sing.
She loved unconditionally, not only her children but everyone she encountered. Linda had a rare and beautiful way of making every person feel deeply loved and valued. Her kindness, generosity, and gentle spirit touched countless lives.
She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Vernon Spence; her parents, Curtis and Mildred Pope; her granddaughter, Ayla Perez; and her brother, Eddie Pope.
She is survived by her loving children: one son, Darryl (Ann) Spence of Enterprise, Alabama; and three daughters: Tonya (Ernie) Roney, Teresa (Ivan) Perez, and Tammy (Keith) Owen all of Geneva.

In addition to her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, she is survived by two brothers, Larry (Bonnie) Pope, Jackson, AL and Charles (Pam) Pope of Orlando, FL; and one sister, Jackie (David) Ross, Tallahassee, FL, and numerous nieces and nephews whom she loved dearly.
The family expresses special love and adoration to her devoted caregiver, Dana Shiver, and extends heartfelt thanks to Gentiva Hospice for the compassionate care provided during her final days.

Scott Anthony Patterson, a man known for his gentle spirit and charming wit, left this world on February 21, 2026, in Graceville, Florida. Born in Dothan, Alabama, on May 23, 1966, Scott’s life was a melody of laughter, love, and kindness that resonated with everyone who had the pleasure of knowing him.
Raised in the warmth of a close-knit family, Scott was the beloved brother to Steven Patterson, Shawn (Patricia) Patterson, Seth (Lindsey) Patterson, and Charles (Wendie) McConnell. His sister, Teena Allen, shared many cherished memories with him. Scott was a pillar of support and an example of unwavering love to his daughter, Zoe (Thaddeus) Polchlopek, as well as to his numerous nieces and nephews, who looked up to him as a role model.
A proud graduate of Dothan High School, Class of 1984, Scott carried the spirit of his hometown with him throughout his life. His career spanned over 37 years at Georgia Pacific in Cedar Springs, Georgia, where his dedication and hard work were as steadfast as his loyalty to his colleagues. Scott retired in October 2024, leaving behind a legacy of commitment and camaraderie.
Scott’s personality was a blend of humor and humility. His love for music was profound, and he could often be found strumming the air guitar to the tunes of Journey and Bob Seger. His musical joy was infectious, and he shared this passion with everyone around him. Scott was a man of faith and fellowship.
An avid Alabama football fan, Scott’s enthusiasm for the game was only matched by his love for golfing. He treasured the moments spent on the golf course with his brothers, Seth, Charles, and Shawn, where their bond strengthened with every swing. These outings were more than just a game; they were a testament to their brotherhood.
Scott’s affection for his feline friends was well-known, affectionately naming all of his cats “Little Bit.” This gentle touch was a reflection of the kindness that he extended to all living creatures. His generosity knew no bounds, and he was often described as the best among us—a person who would give the shirt off his back to help anyone in need.
A celebration of Scott’s life will be held at 11 am on Saturday, February 28, 2026, at Sunset Funeral Home Chapel, where Rev. Hosea Parker will officiate. Scott will be laid to rest at Sunset Memorial Park, his final resting place echoing the peace and love he shared in life. Friends and family are welcome to pay their respects at the funeral home on Saturday from 10-11 am.
Scott Anthony Patterson was the epitome of what it means to be loving, funny, and gentle. His memory will be cherished and held dear in the hearts of those he touched. As we say goodbye to a good, sweet guy the best of us we are reminded of the light he brought into our lives and the laughter that will echo in our memories forever.
