Mrs. Linda Courtney Snowden, 85, of the Indiantown community, passed away peacefully in her home on Tuesday, January 7, 2025. 

Mrs. Snowden was born November 1, 1939, in Williamsburg County, to the late Hayden and Eunalee Walters Courtney. She was known for her compassion, as she always went out of her way to care for others. She was a Pre-K teacher at the Indiantown Presbyterian Church for 16 years. Many of her former students still fondly remember her as “Miss Linda.” 

A dedicated member of Indiantown Presbyterian Church, Mrs. Snowden was deeply devoted to her faith and church community. Over the years, she served in various roles, including the hospitality committee, and was a member of the women’s circle. She also volunteered at the community Bible school and the Virtual School in Hemingway, where she was often referred to as one of the “church ladies.”

Her true joy in life was her family. She was married to the late John Gordon Snowden for 64 years, sharing a lifetime of memories and unwavering love and devotion to each other. They enjoyed traveling all over the world and worked side by side to preserve their family farm. Her kitchen was full of love and good food: she would always fire up the oven anytime her grandchildren came home to make their favorite foods. She was known for her southern cooking, especially “Nana’s homemade biscuits.”

She is survived by her daughter, Susan McCutchen; grandchildren, Britton McCutchen, Christopher (Madison) Barnhill, and Trevor Barnhill; great-grandchildren, Evelyn and Wilson; sister-in-law Sally Courtney; and a number of nieces and nephews; Honorary family: Jane, Christian, and Michael Anne Pennell. 

In addition to her parents, she was predeceased by her husband, John Snowden, brother, William D. Courtney, sisters: Joyce Thigpen and Janice Stroud.

The family would like to express their appreciation to Amedisys hospice, Jane Pennell, Tammy Mitchell, Polly Holt, and William “Bubba” Pressely.
