Mrs. Linda Marie Wills

May 19, 1950 - September 20, 2020

Linda Marie Tyson Wills was born May 19, 1950, in Pitt County to the late Charlie and Lula Tyson. She attended the public schools in Farmville, NC and graduated from H. B. Suggs High School. Having been reared in a Christian home, Linda accepted Christ at an early age and joined Lewis Chapel Free Will Baptist Church in Farmville, NC. After graduating from high school, she moved to Stamford, Connecticut where she joined Faith Tabernacle Missionary Baptist. Upon moving to Williamston, NC, she joined Cedar Hill Missionary Baptist Church where she remained until her demise. Always involved with children, Linda was self-employed for many years, successfully running her own at home day care. She also utilized her expertise at the Forest Street Daycare and Stamford Public School System as well as the Stamford Daycare. Linda had a love for cooking and baking. She always wanted her family close to her and enjoyed family cook outs. There were never too many people at the gatherings, the more the merrier. She truly loved her family, her pastor, and her church family. Linda possessed a charismatic smile that was infectious. She will be deeply missed by all who knew her. We are especially thankful for her husband and his gentle and loving care. On September 20, 2020, Linda Marie Tyson Wills entered from labor to reward. She was preceded in death by one daughter, Tisha Monika Wills. To rejoice in her memory and her passing, she leaves her husband, Gaston D. Wills of the home, her children, Tyrone Tyson and Courtney Wills (Natica) of Bridgeport, CT, Gaston Henderson (Shalika) of Concord, NC, Terrell Wills of Norwalk, CT, Cassandra Given (Michael) of Birmingham, Alabama and Shauntris Maple of Stamford, CT; several grandchildren; a host of sisters-in-law, brothers-in-law, nephews, nieces, cousins, and friends.
