Linda Garrett Reeves

Hendersonville, TN – Linda Garrett Reeves, 77, passed away peacefully at Vanderbilt University Medical Center on October 22, 2022 with family by her side. Linda was born in Pulaski, TN and was a graduate of Lauderdale County High School in Rogersville, AL.

When she wasn’t loving on her family, she loved square dancing, exercising at the YMCA, traveling, and marathon games of Pegs & Jokers with friends. Linda will be remembered for her unending love for all of her family and friends, as well as her unselfish nature, determination and upbeat attitude. She is survived by husband Verlon, sons Steven Glenn Reeves (Jennifer) and their children Miller and Maggie, all of Atlanta, GA; Michael Lynn Reeves (Tracy) of Franklin, TN and their children Alex, Jacob, Benjamin, Rebekah, Jonah, Chloe & Lydia; and brother Charles Wayne Garrett (Violet) of Franklin, TN.
