Linda Lou
graduated from Teague High School, married Harold Dean in 1960 and moved to the big city. They made Houston their home for the next 45 years. She worked side by side with Harold for nearly 30 years assisting him with his accounting practice. The most important thing to Linda was family and friends. Her family was her hobby. She was a mother and grandmother who was deeply involved in the lives of her children and grandchildren. Linda also had a close circle of friends who surrounded her with love and who were always close by for a game of bridge and much laughter. She was a compassionate, kind, caring person who always put others before herself. She will be deeply missed every day until we see her again in heaven.

Linda...from being high school friends, to marrying brothers, to raising our families in Houston, to many nights of Bridge, trips together, and our birthday lunches every year at La Griglia's......Many memories I will always cherish. What a special friend and sister-in-law Linda was to me.
We have known Linda for over 15 years. She has always been kind, pleasant and helpful, and will be missed. Our hearts go out to all her family and friends. They are in our thoughts and prayers in this difficult time. God bless.
