Linda Rae Radford, age 78, of Pensacola, Florida, passed away on August 3, 2026, in the city where she was born and where she spent her life surrounded by the people and places she loved most.

She was born on October 11, 1947, in Pensacola, Florida, to the late Van Lockwood and the late Wanda Lovelass Lockwood. She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Ray Radford, whose memory remained close to her heart.

She is survived by her daughters, Wanda Lynn Radford, Kathy Jo (Jeff) Martin, and Karen Renee Radford; her son, Daniel Ray (Lisa) Radford; and her sister, Sherry (Skeeter) Farrow.
