Mrs. Linda Massey Harris

January 14, 1944 - October 23, 2021

Linda Massey Harris passed away peacefully on Saturday, October 23, 2021 with her family at her side. Linda was born on January 14, 1944 in Clarksdale, Mississippi to Benjamin Midas Massey and Lucile Fant Massey. Linda lived in Memphis, TN, Atlanta, GA and Pocatello, ID before settling to be back with her children in Atlanta, GA. Linda was renowned for her ability to make a new friend wherever she went, her fierce independent streak, her wit, her honesty, and her love for her family. Linda grew up riding horses around her family’s farm in Lyon, MS. She spent many years of her life traveling the country training Thoroughbred race horses. Later she found a love of bass fishing and enjoyed spending a day at the lake and teaching her grandson to love fishing. She was preceded in death by her parents, brothers Thomas Massey and Rudolph Massey, and her husband Ron Harris. She leaves behind a brother, Ellington (Beverly) Massey of Lyon, MS; her daughter Gala (Allen) Harris of Roswell, GA; her son Beau (Jennifer) Bledsoe of Woodstock, GA; 4 beloved grandchildren, Audrey, Bella, Hank and Sophie; and her devoted companion Don Snyder. The family plans to hold a private memorial service. At a later date, the family will share plans to celebrate Linda’s life. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in her honor to St. Jude’s Children’s Hospitals or the March of Dimes - both of these were close to Linda’s heart.
