Linda Jean Wallace Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Celebrating the Homegoing of Linda Jones Barber Wallace Linda Jones Barber Wallace was born on January 26, 1955 and entered into eternal rest with her son Gregory at her side on December 14, 2020. She is preceded in death by her parents Gloria Jean Jones and Lester Harmon and grandparents George and Grace Lavata Jones. Linda attended high school in the Ohio Public School System. After graduation she enrolled at Ohio University majoring in Psychology and Business Management. The next phase of her life’s journey began with her marriage to Bruce Barber where they had a son named Gregory. They lived life with the joys and pains that most of us do. At some point in time, Bruce’s health began to deteriorate, and he succumbed to his illness. Some years later she met and fell in love with Carl Ray Wallace and they married in September 2004. Carl was a Christian man and he loved Linda and her family. Carl was a military man and served in the United States Army where he was awarded the Purple Heart and Bronze Star just to name a few. Carl departed this life in June 2017. Recently Linda became ill herself and transitioned to her heavenly home this December 14, 2020. She fought her battle and is now with her Lord. She leaves to cherish her memory, a son Gregory (Jenea), a grandchild Derek Barber, brother Yusuf Umar and a host of cousins, nieces, nephews, and family members located in Pittsburgh, Colorado, Maryland, and New York just to name a few. Her best friend Terri Howard has been like a sister to her down through the years. Linda “fought a good fight” and will be missed by her family and friends. Her favorite Scripture is “The Psalms 27.” We will express a smile of love whenever we hear it. Linda’s Homegoing will take place in January 2021 (TBA). Ballard Family Mortuary, LLC will officiate, and she will be laid to rest at Fort Logan Cemetery in Denver, CO.
