Linda Poe

Linda Benson Poe was born on January 29, 1942, in Birmingham, Alabama, to Floyd and Ruth Benson. She grew up alongside her beloved siblings, Judy and Johnny Benson, forming bonds that would last a lifetime.

Linda was married to the love of her life, Dr. Louis Poe for 62 years. Together, they built a beautiful life filled with love, laughter, and devotion. Linda was a proud mother to Lee Poe (Marie) and Kim Harmon (Heath), and later found immense joy in her role as “Gran Gran” to her cherished grandchildren, Charlie and Anna Harmon.

A graduate of Minor High School and Alverson Draughon Business School, Linda began her career at the Social Security Administration, where she worked for eight years before choosing to dedicate herself fully to raising her children. Later in life, she returned to work, supporting Dr. Poe’s chiropractic office using her administrative skills.

Linda had a zest for life that was evident in the simple pleasures she enjoyed— spending time with family, shopping, decorating, and trips to the mountains. She was an active member of Lakeside Baptist Church. Her kindness, grace, and unwavering love touched everyone who knew her.

She is preceded in death by her parents, Floyd and Ruth Benson; her sister, Judy; and her brother, Johnny. She is survived by her husband Louis, children Lee and Kim and grandchildren Charlie and Anna.

Visitation will be at 1PM Thursday September 4, 2025 at Jefferson Memorial in Trussville with services at 2PM.

Though our hearts ache with her absence, we find comfort in knowing she is now in the loving arms of our Savior. Her memory will live on in the hearts of all who were blessed to know her.
