Linda Smith Key

Linda Smith Key, of Signal Mountain, TN, passed away Monday, August 31, 2020, at the age of 54. Linda was the epitome of what it meant to be a Christian and her life was a living testimony of her beliefs. In keeping with the core values of her faith, and in her role as a pastor’s wife, she loved without limits, was selfless in nature, and intentionally chose to see the good in everyone. Linda was strong in spirit and mind, yet her ever-present smile and contagious laugh was proof of her true joy. She was preceded in death by her parents, Willie Raymond and Lucile (May) Smith.
