Obituary
A Time To Be Born: Sister Linda Jackson Fudge, the beloved daughter of Doretha Anderson and Delijah Jackson, was born on September 16, 1955, in Madison, Florida. She was a person of quiet strength, unwavering kindness, sincere humility - a gentle spirit that touched everyone who had the privilege of knowing her.
A Time To Serve God: A major decision Linda made during her early years of life was to profess her belief in the Lord Jesus Christ as her Savior and to be baptized by faith. Because the joy of the Lord was her strength, she easily shared her Christian spirit daily through her love of people, generosity, and endless love.
A Time To Learn: Linda was educated in the public schools of Rochester, New York, where she was awarded her high school diploma.
A Time To Be Married: Linda Jackson was united in Holy Matrimony to her soulmate, Eddie Fudge, on February 6, 2026.
A Time To Work: Linda devoted 39 years of dedicated and faithful service to Gold-Kist/Pilgrim’s Pride. After her retirement, working mothers who lived in the Happy Street neighborhood entrusted their young children with her, their unofficial daycare provider.
A Time To Rest: In her leisure time, Linda enjoyed spending quality time showering her family with love, meals, fellowship, and fun. She could not pass up an opportunity to challenge them or anyone else to a game of cards.
A Time For Eternal Rest: Linda Jackson Fudge faced a most challenging health crisis at the sunset of her life, but she found blessed peace with her Lord so near. Surrounded by family at her home on Saturday evening, February 7, 2026, she traded pain for promise and peacefully transitioned to receive her heavenly reward and to now rest in perfect peace.
A Time To Influence Younger Generations: The love and the values that shaped Linda Jackson Fudge during her upbringing have also been instilled in her grandchildren: Jacoby Robinson, Sr., LaDarius Robinson, Tra’Marius Robinson, all of Madison, FL, and Antenee Tatum of Gainesville, FL, and Jazmine Stevens of Tallahassee, FL; these same qualities are being taught to her great-grandchildren: LaDarius, O’Shea, Jayson, Kartier, JaMilah, Jacoby, Jr., Kooper, CyAire Robinson, Kaiden Livingston, DeAijah Livingston, and Aubrielle Tatum.
A Time To Mourn: Loved ones who are prepared believers know that, while their hearts are heavy because they miss her, they can rejoice in knowing they will meet Linda Jackson Fudge again in Heaven with our King. Cherishing her wonderful life and holding on to fond memories she helped to create are her loving and devoted husband: Eddie Fudge; faithful children: Monica Walker and Marcus Jackson, both of Madison, FL; and a special son, Jimmy (Lanika) Walker of Live Oak, FL; siblings: Diane (Rev. Matthew) Combes and Cordele Anderson, Sr., all of Madison, FL, and Leonard Jackson of Rochester, New York; nieces: Bridget Gamble of Jacksonville, FL, Gloria Hill and Kayla Anderson, both of Madison, FL; nephews: Cordele Anderson, Jr., and Matthew (Qunisha) Combes, all of Madison, FL; aunts: Jeanette Latimore, of Madison, FL, Paris Ann (Marcus) Jones of Greenville, FL; uncle: Jessie (Doreatha) Anderson of Madison, FL; sister-in-love: Wanda (Gene) Meddler ; brother-in-love: Donnie Fudge, also of Madison, FL; along with countless loving nieces and nephews, other sorrowing relatives, and caring friends.
