Mrs. Linda Sue Gaspard, age 75 of Alexandria, passed away peacefully at her home on Monday, May 4, 2026 surrounded by her loving family.

Born on July 5, 1950 in DeRidder, La., Linda was the daughter of Charles and Isabella Archer of Grand Coteau, La. She was a woman of many roles, gracefully balancing the demands of self-employment with the love and dedication she poured into her home. Above all, she was a proud and devoted mother of two, serving as a constant source of strength and resilience and encouragement. She will be remembered for her kind heart, selflessness and her special ability to make everyone feel cared for and valued. To all who knew her, she was simply “Maw-Maw”.

A graduate of Menard High School, Linda worked along side her husband in their family business. Together they owned and operated AAA Enterprises, where she repaired appliances for many years. She later helped run Linwell Used Cars, working closely with her sons. She was also very well known for being a Notary Public for over 33 years. Linda found joy in life’s simple pleasures, especially her love of making egg sandwiches for her babies, cross-stitching and hummingbirds. Her legacy lives on through the many lives she touched, particularly he children, grandchildren and great grandchildren, who will carry forward her love and lessons.

Linda is preceded in death by her parents, Charles Archer and Isabella Archer O’Tinger, and her brother, Charlie Archer.

She is survived by her beloved husband of 57 years, Ewell J. Gaspard, Jr., her sons, Ewell J. Gaspard, III (LeeAnn) , and Charles C. Gaspard (Rhonda), her grandchildren, Lakyn N. Bonnette (Clayton), Ewell J. Gaspard, IV, Christian D. Credeur, Ashlyn M. Credeur, Logan J. Gaspard, Emily A. Gaspard, Courtney E. Blazek, and Joshua M. Chandler. Also survived by 10 great grandchildren and many other “adopted” family members.

The family would like to extend a tremendous level of gratitude to Still Waters Hospice for the exceptional care, compassion, love and unwavering support provided to her and her family throughout her final days. Their kindness and dedication brought comfort and peace during a difficult time and will never be forgotten. Their compassion, willingness to go the extra mile and true dedication are what make Still Waters Hospice a truly exceptional provider od care and the elite of the hospice care world.
