Linda began her life on March 14, 1959, in Boston, Massachusetts. She was the second daughter of Eugene and Lucille Amos.

The family relocated to Detroit, Michigan in 1972. Linda was educated in the Detroit Public school system. As a teenager she worked in the family’s party store. Her graduation was from Cass Technical High school in 1976. As a young woman, Linda began her working career for the city of Detroit. During her employment there, she held various positions and retired after many years of service.

Linda was baptized and joined the Second Corinthian Baptist Church. Linda married Don Hambrick, on May 28, 1983. To that union, two daughters were born, Jasmine and Whitney. Linda encouraged the girls to be active in Sunday school and other activities, when they united with Greater Southern Missionary Baptist Church.

Linda was a true hearted Boston Celtics fan. She looked forward to attending the Stephens Family reunion, every summer. Later on, in life, Linda enjoyed spending time with her grandchildren, family and friends, no matter where they were.

Celebrating and cherishing her memories are: her devoted mother Lucille Lloyd, two loving daughters Jasmine Brown, Whitney Martin (Chris), three grandchildren Janiyah, Dorian and Riley, one sister Debbie Amos-Onwuegbuna, brother-in-law Michael Onwuegbuna and only niece Stephanie Onwuegbuna; as well as many cousins and numerous friends.


Expression of Gratitude

In our hour of sorrow, we witnessed an outpouring of support from family and friends alike.  In gratitude and appreciation, we wish to thank you for all acts of kindness shown including phone calls, text messages, food, prayers, visits and love shown during the passing of Linda. There is a saying, “People will forget what you did. They may forget what you said, but they will never forget how you made them feel.”

May God bless you with an abundance of His Blessings!

Thank you,

The family

I never will forget when I was a child at the reunion and you said, " stop with all that cousin nonsense, I'm ya aunt, me and "Deb", we ya aunts, remember that !" And that was confusing as a minor, but after I saw the bond you and my mother had, like y'all were joined at the hip, it finally sunk in why you said that. And for as long as I can remember that's what it's been.
   It's taken me a minute to even muster up the words to write that, but I can't help but smile and hear you say, " I knew you're my favorite cousin nephew", or think about you dozing through traffic in your stephens red ram....lol. And that's all the strength I needed to write this. 
  So I just wanna say I love you, I cherish your memory, and will always continue to make you proud until we meet again.

Sis Linda,

Less often have life given to us the opportunity to aquant with the ones we love and adore the most. The very loved one that is Linda".
As families we were blessed to have shared those most important times with her that is often at the dinner table that not only brought out the best in what I have learned from her unequivocal commitment to her family but for the love and resilience of her personality to the values that she holds dear. As honest asher soul.
She was loved dearly by anyone that comes across her and most importantly her family.
She is home now with the lord.
While she sit at the right hand of the almighty, we will continue to reflect and to mourn her knowing that the best way to sustain her legacy is by compassion, honesty and grace.! That is the Linda that I had the privilege to know.
I like her family will forever miss her.
Her soul is resting in peace.

My Dear Cousin Linda,
Remembering the things we did together as kids puts a smile on my face and happiness in my heart. As we grow up, even if we don't see each other or speak often, those memories always keep us in touch.
You are loved beyond words and will be missed forever and always. Your life was a blessing, your memory a treasure. The beautiful moments you shared with us will never be forgotten. Rest in Peace my Sweet Cousin.
Love Lynne

My Dear Sweet Linda,

God knew I would need a True Cousin, Friend and Sister in Christ to be by my side throughout life, and he made you!
Whenever we were in the same town we were together! I will miss lying in bed and us talking until the wee-hours of the morning until one of us would just fall asleep or the same when we were on the phone, we just didn't get enough of each other's love!
Now I seek comfort knowing that Jesus told his disciples many years ago in John 14:2-3
"I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you unto myself; that where I am there ye may be also."
Thank you for your the all the "Great Times and Memories" I will take with me Forever!

Love you infinitely,
Your Cousin, Friend & Sister,
Terry

My Dear Linda, Even though hundreds of miles separated Velda and I from you, you will always be a beautiful part of our lives that we will never forget. We didn’t see you and your beautiful family for many years however, we did you see them when they were to small to remember. Still, our love for you can not be expressed in words. This wonderful Tribute of your life, Linda only shows us how much we have truly missed. For that we are humbled and heartbroken. It also shows how much you loved but more importantly how much you were loved and respected by others. May the good Lord surround you in his Divine Love. You will R.I.P. because it is God’s Plan for you. You have touched us all. Much Love and we will never forget you. Velda and Rodney

It is hard to put into words the deep feelings I have for my friend Linda. First a co-worker, second a true friend. She unselfishly shared her daughter's Jasmine and Whitney with me.
The memories I have will always be dear to my heart. I will miss her distinct "Boston " accent which she carried well.

My husband and I extend to Jasmine,Whitney and the entire family our deepest and heartfelt Sympathy. May God comfort and sustain you.
 
My friend departed from this earth for another land "A city which hath Foundation, whose builder and maker is God" (Hebrews 11:10).   
        
           
           
          You will be greatly miss.
       LInda may you Rest in Peace -

Debbie, the loss of a sibling is a heartbreaking thing. Somehow you feel as if a part of you is gone, remember that the love and laughter you guys shared will get you through. Share those special times you two had as kids growing up with her daughters, never let her memory fade. Praying that God’ peace envelopes you and the entire family. Angie

I pray for a peace that surpasses all understanding for the family. I was shocked to learn of Linda's death but, I know that when God puts a period behind the end of a life, it is not for me to change that period to a question mark. It is for me to thank God for her life and, for the gift of her daughters ,grandchildren and her family. Linda,you are the beloved of God.You now rest in a place of peace,refreshment,light and love. We will meet again. To God be the Glory.

Reflections From Her Mother

Linda

If I reflect on our journey together over these past 62 years I am reminded of the things we shared together you always saying ‘I’ll always be your baby’ and I wanna be like you when I grow up always put a smile on my face.

We also had some bittersweet moments, Bitter for the lessons that had to be learned and the sweet was for the blessing and healing we got from it.

What brings tears to my eyes and joy in my heart were our last words to each other, i love you ma and, I love you Linda.

Sweet dreams, your grandmothers are waiting for you on the other side. Your journey is complete. You will always be in my heart.

-Ma
