After a long battle with cancer, Linda Ann Blackstone passed away peacefully on September 13, 2022, surrounded by her loved ones.

Born in Savannah, GA, her parents Chad and Marjorie Grizzle described her as a bundle of joy from the start. Linda was passionate about tennis from a very young age and participated in countless tennis clubs over the years, eventually serving as a Vice President within the Atlanta Lawn Tennis Association. In 1970, Linda met Lee Blackstone at the Fox Theater in Atlanta and immediately fell in love. They went on to be married for 50 years and had 3 children and 8 grandchildren together.

Linda was a devoted and loving wife to Lee. She was also a fiercely tenacious, strong, and loyal mother, raising three equally strong and independent daughters. She was our biggest cheerleader and our constant supporter. Our family would not be where it is today if we didn’t have Linda as a mother.

Linda leaves behind her husband Lee Blackstone, her daughters Shannon Blackstone, Lindsay Fraley and Ivy Rassart, her grandchildren, Alex, Allister, Savannah, Daisy, Lincoln, Elliot, Eva and Ethan, and her sisters Carol Rowland, Minette Rushing, and Jena Buttimer. In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation in her name to the American Cancer Society.
