Linda Idolly Spearson-Hebert was the only child of Lyndonia Spearson, born on February 3, 1966, in Chicago, Illinois. Linda was the devoted wife to Alcee Hebert of 19 years, and the loving second mother to their son Kyle Hebert in Carson, California. She graduated from Cal State Dominguez Hills University in 1990, with a Bachelor of Science in Public Services Administration, with the emphasis on Health Services Administration. She worked in retail for 17 years, then later transitioned to medical billing for 13 years, until she was inspired by her beloved dog, “Lucky” to start her own business. Four Paw by Linda to create one of a kind pet bow ties and expanded to various floral arrangements.
Now family, if you don’t know the story of their first date, in the words of Linda, “it did not go well!” On October 31, 1998, they went to LA Chinese Wok for dinner, however, they ended up in a heated discussion with Linda saying, “DROP ME TO MY CAR!” She was adamant, there wasn’t going to be another date. But Al being stubborn and determined to talk Linda into a second date. On New Year’s Eve 1998, Al asked Linda to meet up again, however she wanted to make it very clear “THIS IS NOT A DATE”… They sat outside watched the Hollywood Park Casino fireworks and open their hearts to one another. On April 1, 2000, they were married and became Mr. & Mrs. Hebert.
On March 30, 2019, Linda was diagnosed with stage 4, pancreatic cancer, and shortly there after began chemo treatments. Al and Linda leaned on God’s word for strength, as they knew it was not their will but Gods. Their love and faith, grew stronger and stronger, as she continued to battle cancer. The out pour of love and support from everyone, gave Linda strength each day to sit up, talk and laugh telling stories.
On the morning of July 24, 2019, Linda passed away peacefully in her sleep with her loving husband by her side. She is no longer in pain and suffering as she has gone home to be with the Almighty Father.
For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.

Linda's Life In Imagery
“But if serving the Lord seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.”Joshua 24:15
Dear Linda
The memories of you becomes treasures in my heart. There is so much to ponder; I will forever remember shopping in the Spiegel catalogue for the mother and daughter outfits, we wore in Chicago. I enjoyed the little teapot skits you performed, they were so cute and funny. Beautiful lady, all grown-up, say hello to Granny and Gramps until we all meet again safely in the arms of Jesus.
Goodbye my one and only love, Mom
