Mrs. Linda Sue Dunbar

Linda Gilliard -Dunbar was born on September 13, 1963, in Dallas, Texas, to the late Rece and Geneva Gilliard. She completed her education at Madison High School in Dallas, graduating in 1983. In February 2016, Linda began a transformative journey toward a healthier lifestyle, proudly celebrating 8 years of sobriety. During this time, she also embraced her faith, accepting Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior, and became a devoted member of Koinonia Missionary Baptist Church. Linda will be remembered as an extraordinary sister, a loving and devoted mother, and an outstanding grandmother.
