Mrs. Linda Gatlin, 76, of Hawkins, passed away on Friday July 5, 2019 at her home.
Born to W.J. and Dorothy Dicken, of Farmersville, Linda was a retired special education teacher with a Master of Education degree from UT Tyler.

She is survived by her son, Mitchell Gatlin of Cookeville; two daughters, Christine Gatlin and Holly Gatlin, of the greater Dallas area; two grandchildren, Danielle Eitson and Paxton Gatlin; and four great-grandchildren, Ronnie, Abigail, Mason, and Tobias; as well as siblings Stanley Huggins, Karen Bogue, and Sharon Hix.
