Linda Pribble Scruggs, 79, of Lynchburg, Virginia, passed away on June 8, 2026, following a hard-fought battle with cancer.

Born on May 3, 1947, Linda was the daughter of the late Charlie and Mabel Pribble. She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Louis Lee Scruggs.

Strong-willed, independent, and hardworking, she rarely sat still and always found something to keep herself busy. Her determination, resilience, and generous spirit were evident to everyone who knew her.

Despite the challenges she faced during her illness, Linda fought with remarkable strength and courage. Her love for her family never wavered, and the memories she created with those she loved will be treasured forever.
