Linda Thomas Schuchard, 78, of Aberdeen, NC, went to be with her Lord and Savior on Wednesday, March 5, 2025.
She was born August 9, 1946 to the late Carlton and Inez Thomas. She was preceded in death by her brothers, Sonny and Donald Thomas, her sister, Betty Huff; and her beloved grandson, Josh Britt.
She is survived by her husband of 60 years, David Schuchard; her three daughters and their husbands, Amy (Mark) Ivey, Jill (Jeff) Britt, and Holly (Joe) Needham; her grandchildren, Zac (Elly) Ivey, Emily (Kyle) Varner, Jake (Raine) Britt, Sam (Stephanie) Ivey, Matt Needham, Noah (Maddie) Britt, Mary Cate (Michael) Lu, Madison Britt, Lillie Needham and Eli (Emma) Needham; her precious great-grandchildren, Joanna and Max Lu, Eloise and Oliver Britt, Nova Ivey, Maverick Varner and Jack Britt; her sister, Brenda (Metrah) Spencer; as well as several nieces, nephews and cousins.
Linda, also known as Mama and Gaga, was a lifelong member of Ashley Heights Baptist Church. She loved her Lord and spent countless hours studying his word. She knew and loved her Bible and imparted that love and wisdom to countless children and adults as a Sunday school teacher and Mission Friends leader.
She devoted her life to children, loving and raising her three daughters, her students she taught in Hoke County Schools for twenty-five years, her grandchildren and her precious great-grandchildren.
Her husband, Dave, was her best friend, and they were inseparable as they lived life as a perfect example of Christian marriage.
She loved everyone she met and wanted them to know her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. She never met a stranger, and those who met her never forgot her. She was pure joy.
In lieu of flowers, please consider a contribution to St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital.
