Linda Lee (Gullett) Layne, 75, of Wheelersburg, went to her heavenly rest on March 18, 2024. She was born on October 11, 1948, to the late Paris and Jean Gullett of Wheelersburg.
Linda, a 1966 graduate of Wheelersburg High School, began working at Deemer’s Market after graduation. In the late 1970s, Linda drove the ambulance for Vernon Township and volunteered with the Vernon Township Ladies Auxiliary. She returned to Deemer’s in 1984 to complete her 27 years of service and then spent several years caring for her grandchildren. Linda also worked as a substitute carrier for the US Postal Service.
From 1984 through 2000, Linda volunteered with the Wheelersburg High School Band Boosters and was affectionately known as a loving “Band Mom” and friend to many throughout the years. In her pastimes, Linda enjoyed reading, walking and exercising, spending time with family, boasting about her children and grandkids, gardening, enjoying chocolate ice cream, and watching sports, especially football, baseball, and hockey.
Linda is survived by children Kristi (Jim) Meadows, James (Maria) Layne, Sarah (David) Warren, and brother Jim (Kim) Gullett. Linda also leaves behind grandchildren, Chris (Amanda) Meadows, Tim (Damon) Meadows, Andrew Meadows, Jessie (Ryan) Ratcliffe, Jamie (Kaleb) Cihon, Alexis Warren, Jennah (Ethan) Herdman, Laynah Kiser, Madison Layne, Emily Layne, and Kaylah Warren along with great-grandchildren, Ariana, Carter, and Zoey.
