Linda Kay Johnson Hill

Linda Kay Johnson Hill, 62, of Matthews, was welcomed into the arms of her Lord on Saturday, January 25, 2014. Linda was born in Newport News, VA, on October 20, 1951, the daughter of Glenwood and Carol Ann (nee Robinson) Johnson. With her father in the military, she traveled many places growing up. At the age of 13, she gave her life to The Lord, and all she wanted to do was serve others in His name. She graduated from Mt Clemens High School, Michigan, and then attended Gateway Bible College in St Louis, Missouri. She lived in Florida and in Lehigh Acres worked as a day care administrator at the church she attended, New Life Assembly. She later served at 1st Assembly Church in Fort Myers, FL, for a few years before moving to North Carolina. She worked with Union County Public Schools as a receptionist at Antioch Elementary School. Most recently, she was active in her church family with Mint Hill Community Church. Linda enjoyed Christian music and shopping, but her real calling was ministry and service to others as she dedicated herself to the Samaritan's Feet Ministry, helping keep shoes on children's feet throughout the world. She gave all she could for the benefit of her church family and making others feel welcomed and supported. Most of all, she loved her family. She was a "Shining Light" to all and she will be sadly missed by her family and all who knew here. Linda is survived by her husband, Michael of Matthews; her parents, Glen and Carol Johnson of Fort Myers, Florida; son, Jamin (Kim) Meyers of Naples, FL; a daughter Rebecca (Roy) Randazzo of Stallings, NC; a sister, Vickie (Scott) Farley of Colorado Springs, CO. She is further survived by four grandchildren: Shane, Gabrielle, Evan, and Elena; her two "Snoodles", Buddy and Sammy; and numerous other family and friends. A celebration of Linda's life led by her pastor, Andrew Byrd of Mint Hill Community Church, will be held at 7 pm on Friday, January 31, in the chapel of Lowe-Neddo Funeral Home. The family will hold a private viewing prior to the service. Please visit Linda's personal tribute online to share pictures and memories.
