- Linda Delane Bernard Moore, of Louisville, Kentucky, passed away on April 21, 2025. She was born on October 8th, 1942, to the late Byron Harold Bernard and Elizabeth Bernard. Linda lived a life of great strength, deep love, and the fullness of her family. Simply put, she lived with purpose.
- Linda had great success in the world of business after graduating from Eastern Kentucky University. For a time she served as the vice president of Future Girls, whose purpose was to help young women find their place in the business world. She followed this with a successful stint as a real estate agent and ended her professional career as a legal assistant to John Allen Taylor.
- Inarguably the most important event in Linda's life was meeting John Howard Moore, a fellow student at Eastern Kentucky University. They fell for each other quickly, and married on September 1st, 1962. A little over a year later, they welcomed their only child, also named John, who brought so much love, joy, and pride to Linda's life. Linda and John were married for 62 years, and grew in their commitment to each other with every passing day. John cared for Linda for many years as she battled a number of physical challenges, and Linda returned the favor by being, in John's description, “so easy to be married to. She was pretty, she was smart, she was fun, she was energetic, and she was everything that a guy could hope for.” Their love inspired many, and will continue to.
