Linda was born on July 3, 1946, in Crowley, Louisiana, to Viola (Benoit) Bergeron and Percy Jules Bergeron. She grew up with a caring spirit that would define her life. Linda had a true servant’s heart and dedicated much of her time to helping others, especially through her volunteer work with the Arlington Citizen Police Academy, where she faithfully served for nearly 20 years. She held a deep love and respect for the Arlington Police Department and was proud to support the officers and community she cared so much about.

Linda met the love of her life, Tommy Holland, in League City, Texas. The two were married on September 3, 1978, in Houston, Texas, by a justice of the peace. The ceremony was simple and meaningful, attended only by Linda’s lifelong friend, Pat Corder. In 1984, Linda and Tommy moved to Arlington, Texas, where they built their life together.

Linda found joy in many simple pleasures. She greatly enjoyed the game of softball and loved spending time around the sport. She was also well known among family and friends for making the best banana pudding—one of the many ways she shared her love with those around her.

Above all, Linda will be remembered for her kindness, generosity, and unwavering dedication to serving others. Her warm spirit, loyal friendship, and giving nature left a lasting impression on everyone who knew her.

She is survived by her husband, Tommy Holland; sons, Michael Ratliff, Steven Lewis Holland, Brent Allen Holland; adopted son, Mike Campbell; daughter, Tracey Cooper; sister, Barbara Ratliff; sister in law, Emma Bergeron; grandchildren, Justin (Brenna) Cooper, Kristi Cooper, Darlene Holland, and Chad Holland; one great grandchild, Millaine Lyn Cooper; numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, and many friends.

Linda was preceded in death by her parents and one brother, Kenneth Bergeron.

Her life was a testament to compassion, service, and love.
