Linda Boynton Brown

Linda Boynton Brown August 11, 1950 - August 21, 2025 "Absent from the body, present with the Lord." On August 21, 2025, after a long battle with Alzheimer's disease, Linda Boynton Brown embraced the hope of the resurrection and entered into the presence of her Savior. A lifelong resident of Newnan, Georgia, Linda was a faithful presence in her community. Her name, Linda, means "beautiful," and she lived up to her name both inside and out-letting the hope she had in Jesus shine throughout her life. From her earliest days, Linda trusted in Jesus as her Savior, and she lived her life with a quiet but steadfast faith. Even as her memory faded, her hope in Christ never dimmed, and her gentle spirit continued to reflect the joy of the Lord. If you searched the pages of her well-worn Bible, you would often find the letters "T & P" written beside verses of Scripture, usually with a date - her way of marking a promise that had been Tried and Proven in her life. She is survived by her devoted husband of 56 years, David Brown, Sr.; her sons, David Brown, Jr. (father of Kimber, and of Graceyn and Brailyn with their mother, Vanessa Brown) and Andy Brown and his wife, Katie (children: Adalee, Titus, and Ezra). She was also blessed with one great-grandchild, Mylah, the daughter of Kimber. To her family she was known affectionately as Nana, and her great delight was seeing the Lord multiply His goodness through the birth of her grandchildren and great-grandchild. She was preceded in death by her infant daughter, Kimberly Ann Brown; her brother, Jim Boynton; her father, Chester Lee Mallory "Mack" Boynton; her mother, Nell Stinchcomb; and her stepfather, Dan Stinchcomb, all of Newnan, Georgia. Linda lived her life in hope of the resurrection. She is perhaps best remembered in her community through her years of service at PAPP Clinic, where she greeted patients in their time of need with her warm smile and gentle spirit. She also faithfully assisted the doctors in their scheduling as they cared for patients, making each person feel seen and valued. Countless people recall how her kindness brought comfort in difficult moments. As Psalm 34:5 says, "Those who look to Him are radiant, and their faces shall never be ashamed." That radiance marked Linda's life-her smile remained with her even up to the day she died, a reflection of the joy she carried in Christ. Her community is strengthened by people like Linda, whose inward hope in Christ shines outward in joy. The family would like to express their heartfelt gratitude to the hospice nurses who cared so compassionately for Linda in her final days, and to a devoted caregiver whose kindness and dedication were a great blessing.
