RIVERS


June 7, 1948 - July 28, 2021

Linda Elaine Rivers, age 73, passed away at home in Florence on July 28, 2021. Born in Russellville, AL to Charlie and Annie Moore on June 7, 1948, Linda devoted her life to her family and serving the community through her church.

Linda loved entertaining and many memories were created around her table with her family and church group, the Prime Timers. She was a devoted servant of the Lord and was a member of Florence Boulevard Church of Christ. She was loved by all who knew her and her humor, laughter, and lively conversation will be missed.

Visitation will be on Sunday August 1, 2021 from 1pm-3pm at Florence Boulevard Church of Christ. The services will follow at 3pm and will be led by Dale Boren and Dr. Bill Bagents. Burial will be at Franklin Memorial Gardens.

  6. My sincere condolences to each of you (Bruce, Kris, Kristi). Linda was a fine person who made everyone around her laugh. She was a special Christian wife and mother. Kris-Kristi: You are perfect examples of your mother. If I can be of assistance in any way, please let me know. Will not be able to attend the services due to my health issues and concern re: CoVid right now. May God bless.

  7. Sweet Kristie Kris and Bruce. I’m so sorry for your great loss. Linda was a beautiful God serving lady and I admired her. May sweet and happy memories soon flood your hearts to help in someway ease the pains of parting. I love and care about you. All Shirley mills
