Linda Jane Mason Maxie, daughter of the late Elton Thomas Mason and the late Roberta Hill Mason, peacefully passed away on Friday, May 30, 2025, 11:19 a.m., at Mercy Health Lourdes Hospital in Paducah.
Linda was born April 10, 1958, in Mayfield, Kentucky. At the time of her passing, she had lived for 67 years, 1 month, and 20 days. She was a member of New Ebenezer Baptist Church and was a 1976 graduate of Paducah Tilghman High School. After graduating from Tilghman, she pursued her education at West Kentucky Vocational School, concentrating on Business Administration.
Her former employment included Captain D’s Seafood Restaurant and Blackhawk Bakery as a supervisor. Before her death, she worked as a private caregiver.
Linda enjoyed life to its fullest. Her physical appearance was just as important as her physical and emotional well-being. That is why she loved eating any and every fruit. She was a thrifty woman who enjoyed shopping at yard sales. She liked to dance, loved all types of music, and was a true fan of Tupac. Her clothing style was so unique that she was often called “Flossy Glossy”, a true Paducah Fashionista.
Preceding her in death were her parents, two sisters, Glenda Jean Mason and Brenda Gail Mason, one grandson, Labrian Holland, her paternal grandparents, Rube C. Mason and Hattie J. Mason, and her maternal grandparents, Lonnie Hill and Lula Rouse.
