She was at every game for her kids, grandkids or great-grandchildren. Even though she was born a Karnes City Badger she was a Kenedy Lion at heart.  Linda’s greatest love of all though was Jesus Christ.  She loved attending church, whether it be Karnes City Baptist Church or Kenedy First Baptist Church.  She enjoyed making new friends and truly singing in the choirs.  Whenever the choirs were having special music of any kind, she was right there, inviting her whole family to come and praise God with her.  “Momo Linda” you will be greatly missed, but we know you are in a better place and there is no more suffering.  The Hartsfield Family would like to thank the staff of Methodist Transplant and Surgery Hospital for their care and concern for Linda while she was in San Antonio. We would also like to thank the staff at Otto Kaiser Memorial Hospital in Kenedy Texas and especially the Nurses and Doctors on the 2^nd floor for the care that “Momo Linda” received while being there; the staff at Bluebonnet Nursing Home for their kindness and the kindness and compassion by Julie Rivas at New Crown Hospice and Crown Hospice for their compassionate caregivers for making “Momo Linda” comfortable.
