Linda Susan Aligood
June 1, 2016
Linda Susan Aligood, a resident of Pensacola, passed away on May 30, 2016, following an acute illness.
Linda was born as Linda Susan Huelsbeck in Pensacola on August 24, 1951, to John William Huelsbeck, Sr. and Shirley Ann Creel. She was their brave and bright first child. Linda was raised in Cantonment, and she played in the high school band, built her first car with salvaged parts and flew airplanes before her peers held a driver’s license.
Linda graduated from Tate High School in 1969 and attended Pensacola Junior College. She met the love of her life, John Maurice Aligood, following his return from the Vietnam War where he served in the US Marines. They married on June 20, 1970 at St. Jude’s Catholic Church in Cantonment. Linda and Johnny enjoyed 45 years together.
Linda worked as a trusted bookkeeper and realtor with John S. Carr and his companies for over 30 years. She was an active member in St. Monica’s Episcopal Church and volunteered for the church in many roles, including most recently as Treasurer.
Until her illness she was blessed with health permitting her to enjoy quilting, cooking and crafts.
She was preceded in death by her parents.
She is survived by her husband, Johnny; sons, Jonathan Keith Aligood (Rhonda) and Jeremy Todd Aligood; siblings, John William Huelsbeck, Jr. (Cathy) and Jan Moye Smith (Bill); grandson, Jonathan Connor Aligood (Taylor); granddaughters, Ashley Elise Byrd and Mercedes Kay Byrd; nephews, Joshua Michael Huelsbeck and William Kelly Smith; and extended family.
She was loved by family and her many, many friends, and she will be deeply missed by all who were fortunate to have shared a part of her life.
Linda’s faith in God and her church family enriched her life. It would be her wish that, in lieu of flowers, donations be made in her memory to St. Monica’s Episcopal Church, 699 South Highway 95-A, Cantonment, FL. 32533.
Funeral services will be held Friday, June 3, 2016, at 10 a.m. at St. Monica’s Episcopal Church with committal to follow at Bayview Memorial Park.
Visitation will be held Thursday, June 2, 2016, from 5 p.m. until 7 p.m. at Faith Chapel North.
Faith Chapel Funeral Home North is in charge of arrangements.
