Lynda Sue Saunders, a cherished soul known for her loving nature and creative spirit, passed away on November 13, 2025, at the age of 78. Born on December 14, 1946, in Dothan, Lynda’s life was a tapestry of close family ties, enduring friendships, and a passion for the simple pleasures in life.

Lynda was the beloved daughter of the late Loyd Herman White and Ruby Kathryn McKay White. She grew up surrounded by the love and camaraderie of her siblings. Though she was predeceased by her sister Janice Olivia White and her sister-in-law, Cindy White, her memory will be treasured by her sister, Mary Jane Tindell and husband Larry, her brothers, Tim White and wife Christina, Jerry White, and Terry White and wife Onna. Lynda’s warmth and guidance will be profoundly missed by her niece Christina Kathryn White and her nephews Joseph Loyd McKinney and Tim Tindell (Carla), as well as her grand-nephew James Joseph Anderson. Her close lifelong friends John D. McGill and Missy Hall will remember her for the laughter, support, and countless memories they shared.

A graduate of Dothan High School, Lynda carried the spirit of her hometown into her studies at the University of Alabama. Her academic journey was a reflection of her broad interests and her innate desire to learn and grow. Lynda’s life was rich with interests that brought joy to her and those around her. She found solace in the beauty of her garden, a place where her creativity could flourish among the flowers and plants she tended with care. Shopping was more than a pastime for Lynda; it was an adventure, a way to express her unique style and an opportunity to share moments with friends. Art was a window to the world for her, a source of inspiration and contemplation. Lynda’s kitchen was the heart of her home, where she combined her love for cooking with her desire to bring people together.

Her fur babies were a constant source of happiness, companionship, and unconditional love. They were not just pets but members of her family, each cherished for their individual personalities and the joy they brought to her life.

A Celebration of Lynda’s life will be held at 2 PM, Sunday, November 16, 2025 from the chapel of Ward Wilson Funeral Home with Reverend Doug Seale officiating. The family will receive friends from 1 PM until 2 PM, prior to the service at the funeral home.
