Linda Gore, a beloved member of her community, passed away on March 9, 2025, in Gainesville, Florida. Born on July 13, 1948, in Tampa, she was a shining light in the lives of all who knew her.

She graduated from Chiefland High School as part of the class of 1966. In a beautiful union that lasted almost 57 years, she was married to her loving husband, Ira Gore. Together, they created a warm and nurturing family environment that was a testament to their profound love for one another.

Linda was proud of her role as a mother and grandmother.

She shared special bonds with her siblings, including her brother Jay Mac (Susan) Matthews and sisters Shirley Ann Gentry(Herman) and Evelyn Greason.

In addition to family, Linda dedicated her time to various community activities, being a proud member of the Red Hat Society and a member of the Trenton Church of Christ. She had a passion for cooking, gardening, and yard work, often bringing family and friends together through her love for culinary arts and the beauty of her garden.

Linda is preceded in death by her parents, J.D. and Ruby Matthews, as well as her late brother, Kenneth Matthews, and sisters Tina Joy and Glenda Williams. Their memories will remain forever in the hearts of those she leaves behind.
