LINDA ADKINS HOLDERFIEL­D,

-

95, born October 8, 1924, passed away on March

7, 2020. She never missed a beat. Literally! She loved to dance. She loved Las Vegas, Tunica and Oaklawn. She always worked hard and enjoyed life to the fullest.

Linda was the youngest of a family of seven. Linda grew up in England, Ark., picking cotton. She quickly knew she wanted no part of the country life. She moved to the big city of Little Rock at the age of 18. She became a dental assistant at Camp Robinson after graduating from the England Schools. Linda was quite the Sales Lady. She opened her own appliance business at 5300 Asher Avenue, the old Walloch Furniture Store. It was appropriat­ely named Linda’s Furniture and Appliances.

Linda is survived by her four children; Dennis (Marshia) Adkins, Sharon (Steve Duffel) Adkins, Robert Douglas Adkins, and Karen Holderfiel­d, nine grandchild­ren; 20 great-grandchild­ren; step-children; Bobby Holderfiel­d, Buddy Holderfiel­d, and Melanie Moore. She was preceded in death by her husband; Buddy Holderfiel­d, and stepson; Matthew Holderfiel­d.

There was never a dull moment. In her last days of life, she was still giving us orders. May she rest in peace. Watch out Heaven, here she comes!

A private graveside service will be held at Little Rock National Cemetery.

We want to thank Hickory Heights Nursing Home and their staff, and also a big “Thank You” to Kindred Hospice for the many hours of care they gave our Mother.

Donations may be made to Friendly Chapel Church-Nazarene, 116 South Pine Street, North Little Rock, Ark., 72114 or Little Rock Animal Village, 4500 Kramer Street, Little Rock, Ark., 72204.
