This is Linda Lou Wilkerson Cogdell.  Lou is one of my first cousins, and one of my favorite people in the world. She was only 61. The following is shared from her obituary.

Linda Lou Wilkerson Cogdell, beloved wife of Larry Bruce Cogdell went home to be with the Lord on October 16, 2011. Born December 2, 1950 in Marion, North Carolina, she was the daughter of the late J.D. and Iva Lee Carver Wilkerson. Lou was a graduate of Polk Central High School and a founding member of Christ Community Church in Landrum. As a faithful servant of her Lord & Savior Jesus Christ, she brought many people to His saving love by teaching youth and children and serving in various other roles in the church. Even in her final days she lived out her life as a testimony to the Lord. She also served the community that she loved as a volunteer and member of Landrum Rescue 11. She was retired from Phelps Dodge / International Wire in Inman, SC and currently worked along with her husband at Cogdell’s Radio Shack

In addition to her husband of 42 years, she is survived by a loving family including son Gregory Cogdell and his wife Jennifer and “Mimi’s” beloved grandson Jacob; son Grant Cogdell and his wife Cassie Jo; sisters Frances Williams (James) and Joyce Provo (Brad); brothers Wesley Wilkerson (Irene) and Tim Paul Wilkerson (Pam). Also surviving are several in-laws, nieces, nephews, and cousins. She was predeceased by a brother Danny Lee Wilkerson and a sister Rose Marie Wooten Gregory.

She is also survived by the members of Landrum Rescue Squad and Christ Community Church, whom she considered to be brothers, sisters, sons, and daughters.

Her memorial service was full of wonderful memories from many whose lives she touched. It was very touching. A powerhouse of a woman packed in a 5'2" frame. Love you Lou. See ya later. Angela
