.
Mrs. Linda L. Richerson of Larue County, formerly of Campbellsville, was born on December 4, 1945 in Cook County, Illinois to the late George and Alberta (Nox) Sheets. She departed this life on Tuesday, February 23, 2016 at the Hardin Memorial Hospital after an illness. She was 70 years, 2 months, and 19 days of age. Mrs. Richerson professed faith in Christ and was a member of the Freedom Baptist Church. She was the bookkeeper for Glasscock Body Shop for several years, and was a CNA and an at-home caregiver. She was a member of the Twilight Twirlers, a square dance troupe, and the Campbellsville Emmaus. She loved to watch a Disney movie and spend time with her family, playing bingo, and watching the Kentucky Wildcats. Her serious side came out only during Monopoly matches or card games; she was always competitive and hard to beat. She found relaxation in computer games and gardening, along with several other hobbies.
