Linda was born Feb. 18, 1941, in Wynnewood, Okla. As an extraordinary philanthropist, she and her husband have provided scholarships in memory of their daughter, Holly, for more than twenty years to Keller High School graduates. As a former high school business teacher at LD Bell High School and a Keller ISD Board member for 12 years, public education was one of her many passions. She served on the Bowie Education Foundation and loved being a Bowie High School Jackrabbit as she was a member of their 1955 State Championship Basketball team. She also attended and graduated from the University of Oklahoma. Boomer Sooner!
Her volunteerism began with PTA and ended as an active member of Greater Keller Women’s Club and the Greater Keller Women’s Club Foundation raising monies to give back to the community. She was also heavily involved in the recent planning of the new GKWC facility, The Bowden: Events and Weddings.

Linda was preceded in death by her daughter, Holly Lynn Bowden; her parents, Lucile and Doyle Campbell; and her sister-in-law, Linda Ruth Campbell.
