Lynda Hamilton Gooch, age 67, of Mt. Airy, Georgia, went home to be with the Lord on Saturday, December 21, 2024, following an extended illness.
Mrs. Gooch was born on September 16, 1957, in New York, New York, to the late William Hamilton and Esther Mae Grabel. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her brother, Billy Hamilton, and her sister, Deborah Hamilton.
Lynda spent 30 years of her life in the customer service and marketing field, where she gained many friendships. Beyond her professional life, Lynda found joy in the simple pleasures of life. She had an enduring love for music, often finding comfort in its melodies. Lynda cherished sunny days spent by the lake, marveling at nature, and her keen eye for birdwatching was a source of endless wonder. An animal lover at heart, she was especially devoted to her cats, who brought her joy and comfort. Above all, Lynda’s greatest passion was her family. She took immense pride in her role as a loving mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and sister. Her family was her world, and one of her greatest titles was “Granny Gooch” to her grandchildren.
