Linda Chumley Brumfield, age 82 and a resident of Mount Hermon, passed away peacefully Sunday night April 21, 2024 at her home surrounded by her loving family. She was retired after serving as the business office manager at Riverside Medical Center for over 20 years. Linda was a longtime member of Bogue Chitto Baptist Church. She loved tending to her beautiful flower beds and working in her yard. Linda made big dinners each Sunday for her family, and was an excellent cook, especially her cornbread dressing. She liked to travel and had taken trips to Hawaii, Iceland and Caribbean islands Jamaica and The Bahamas. Linda had a big heart for animals and rescued countless dogs and cats from the roadsides near her home, which would then become her pets. She had also rescued an owl and birds that she later released back to the wild. Linda was always a loving wife, mother and grandmother and she cherished all the time spent with her family.
