Linda was born in Cottonport, Louisiana, and graduated from Cottonport High School.

She worked for Information Systems and The Tudor Companies, both in Alexandria, and retired in 2004.
Linda was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. Her greatest treasure was her family and the love, care, and support she gave them each day. She was a devout Catholic with a strong faith and lived the virtues of Faith, Hope, and Charity throughout her life.
Those left to cherish her memory include her three children: Jamie Gauthier (Dina), Mark Gauthier (Missie), and Jennifer Gauthier Mathews (Vernon), all of Alexandria; her brother, Gerald Bordelon (Judy); nine grandchildren: Dustin Gauthier (Amanda), Lindsay Gauthier, Corey Gauthier, Morgan Gauthier Teta (Canaan), Mackenzie Gauthier Wendt (Jesse), Adam Mathews (Megan), Jeremy Mathews (Haley), Kristen Mathews (Cody), and Anna Claire Mathews; and nine great-grandchildren: Amelia Gauthier, Adeline Gauthier, Parker Pinion, Madelyn Mathews, Russell Mathews, Abbie Mathews, Macie Mathews, Rylie Mathews, and Samuel Teta.
The family extends their heartfelt gratitude to the entire staff of Lexington House for the compassionate care and support Linda received during her time there.
