Linda was born in Kittery, Maine and spent the most of her life in the Atlanta area. She was preceded in death by her parents Richard Henry Thrasher and Thelma 'Pearl' Stringfellow Thrasher and her son Andrew Warlick.

She is survived by her husband Joe Rivara and her son Christian Lung of Lavonia Georgia.

No services will be held. Linda's sole request was that she be cremated, and her ashes be taken and scattered by her husband Joe and son Christian in Scotland the home of her ancestors.
