Linda entered this world on January 2, 1948, in Clarksburg, West Virginia, born to Denzil and Nancy Green. She served as Mother Advisor for Naomi Assembly of the International Order of the Rainbow for Girls for many years mentoring and assisting many young women in the area. Linda had a passion for music, loved to dance, and enjoyed watching her husband play in bands. She organized numerous fundraising events to benefit those in need. She loved to laugh and enjoyed telling stories and being in the company of her Shriner brothers and sisters. More than anything, she cherished her family and her grandchildren whom she loved more than life itself.

She is survived by her loving husband of 33 years, Wray Thomas of Newport, NC; her daughter Bridget Cominsky, son-in-law Philip Wilson, and grandson Trace Wilson; her son Michael Flanagan, daughter-in-law Leigh Flanagan, and grandson Fionn Flanagan; stepchildren, Cheryl Thomas, Michael Thomas, and Kimberly Middleton; her sister Judy Cleavenger and her husband John Cleavenger; and many nieces, nephews, and great grandchildren.

The family will receive friends from 10 a.m. until 11 a.m. on Monday, August 17, 2020, at Munden Funeral Home. The same safety guidelines will apply.

In lieu of flowers it is requested that donations be sent to the North Carolina Grand Assembly, International Order of the Rainbow for Girls, 2230 Whitman Road, Raleigh, NC 27607. Letters of donations will be sent to the donor for tax purposes.
