Linda East Cagle was born April 12, 1946 in Leaksville, NC. She was a happy child with many friends and she continued these friendships throughout her life time. She had a special group of friends from high school, known as the “swing porch girls” as well as special friends Sherry and Ursula.

Linda had a hunger for knowledge and, for a time, after graduating college, taught high school math. She continued her education by studying in the evenings, after teaching school and raising a family, and became a CPA. At one time she owned her own accounting firm. She continued to help clients until her retirement 15 years ago. She was a devoted mother to her two children. She is survived by her husband of 60 years, Dan, her daughter, Cathy, son, Chris, his wife Maria and their son, Drew. She was so excited to become a grandmother and she and Drew spent fun times together each week at “Camp Cagle”. She was so proud of the young man he has become.

Helping others was a passion she instilled into her family and which they reflect in their actions daily. In retirement she was involved with delivering food to the needy, working with unwed mothers through Hope’s Light Ministry and using her accounting background to help her Church.

Linda could be described as – loving, cheerful, caring, kind, respectful and nurturing.

She loved spending time with her friends, playing card games, doing jigsaw puzzles and playing mahjong.  Others were always important to her.

It is impossible to fully describe what a wonderful gift God gave the world until she was called home to heaven, February 6, 2026. A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date. In her honor, please give a warm smile to those you see each day. Arrangements entrusted with BALDWIN BROTHERS Funeral & Cremation Society-Spanish Springs, 352-430-1449.
