Linda Marie Hart

It is with great sadness we share with you that Linda Marie Hart passed away at home November 2nd 2023. She was a long-time resident of Graford, Texas and had recently moved to Mineral Wells to be cared for by her daughter, Mitzi. Linda was born in Tupelo, Mississippi to Ruth Marie Hathcock and Meredith Maxwell Gore on February 23rd 1955. She married Prentice Hart on May 28th 1980. Linda spent most of her life as a homemaker, truck driver, and line cook. She had the most giving loving soul. She was known as mom to many and mother to 5 of her own kids whom she loved with her whole heart. 

Linda enjoyed collecting dragons, reading books, going fishing, putting together puzzles of any kind, size, or shape, cross word searches, scrabble, and was quite the trivia wiz. She must have known everything. She was passionate about cooking specifically at the cafe in Graford for several years. Many of her customers and coworkers have stayed close to her heart and was always on her mind. 

She was preceded in death by the love of her life, her husband of 29 years, Prentice Ray Hart; her mother and father; brothers, Charles Gore, Daniel Gore; and sister, Gwendolyn Gore. 

Survivors include her daughter, Mitzi Baugus and Husband Steve of Mineral Wells; sons, Jamie Franks of Mineral Wells,  William Franks and wife Vickie of Graford, Wesley Hart and wife Colleen of Graford; Josh Hart and wife Shaunna of Graford; granddaughters, Meagan McAllister, Sorche Holt; and grandsons,  Andy(man) Hughes and Brayden Hart; many great grand kids and even a great-great grandchild. All of whom she loved so very much. 

Her loss is bitter sweet. Linda’s memory will be cherished by all that knew her. Until we meet again.

Visitation will be at Baum Carlock Funeral Home from 6 - 8pm Monday. Funeral services will be held 2 pm, Tuesday, November 7, 2023 at Baum Carlock Bumgardner Funeral Chapel with Pastor Mark McCutchen officiating. The family would like to thank everyone for their prayers, hugs, and kind words of encouragement during this difficult time. The family would also like to thank Vickie Franks for all the love, care, and attention to their mother during her most needed time.

We love you Mom!
