Linda Louise Tyler-Goins

Linda Louise Tyler-Goins, 64, of Nashville, Tennessee was born September 5, 1959, in Vicksburg, Mississippi to Robert Tyler III and Shirley Sanders Conner. She transitioned to be with our Heavenly Father on January 19, 2024. Upon moving to Paducah, Kentucky,
she received her elementary, middle, and secondary education in the Paducah Public School system, graduating from Paducah Tilghman High School in 1977. In 1982 she graduated from Tuskegee University with a Nursing Degree.

After graduating from Tuskegee, Linda moved to Nashville and served as a nurse at St. Thomas Hospital. Feeling a call to serve the youth, she later joined the Metro School System, where she served lovingly as a school nurse until her transition. Linda gave her
life to Christ at an early age and continued to live a purposeful God-filled life until she was
called to her Heavenly home.

Linda loved serving others and would wholeheartedly bless anyone in need. She adored her family and friends and took great pleasure in driving miles to celebrate and/or assist when the need arose. Linda enjoyed gardening and pickling and always delighted in sharing the fruits of her labor with as many people as possible.
