 Linda
Brooks
June 26, 1953 - November 12, 2021
Linda Sue Brooks “Susie” of Carrollton, Texas
Susie was born in Nassawadox, Virginia on Friday, June 26, 1953. She
passed away on Friday, November 12, 2021, with her daughter Amber by her
side. Susie suffered for many years with several chronic illnesses. She
fought long and hard for almost 15 years.
Susie was the first-born daughter of Richard and Dottie Powell. The
family moved to Texas shortly after and landed in Farmers Branch, Texas
a few years later. Susie graduated from R. L. Turner High School in
1971. She met the love of her life that summer, William Brooks, Sr.
“Bill”, they were married on October 25, 1971. They settled with their
family in Carrollton, Texas.
Susie is survived by her mother Dottie Powell; her daughter Amber Brooks
(Fernando Garcia), Hayley Brooks and step-son, William “Lil’Bill” Brooks
II (Tiffany) of Justin, Texas; Grandchildren: Andrew DePriest “Her Drew
Drew”; Rachel, Emma, Kimber, Eli and Brittley Brooks; Her sisters
Shirley (Randy) Seay and Sandi Powell; Nieces and Nephews: Rich
(Christine) Seay, Robert Seay, Skyler (Sam) Salinas, Stephanie
Brooks-Faunae of Terrell, Texas, Rodney (Terri) Shauchunas, along with
many other family and friends. She is preceded in death by her Husband
Bill Brooks, Father Richard Powell and Sister-in-law Alice Brooks.
Susie was a loving daughter, mother and topo of the line Gammaw. She
loved all of her family blood or not. If someone was in need of anything
she would be there helping. She loved to laugh, garden, fish and go out
to eat with family and friends. Her favorite thing to do in recent years
was playing Bunco with the neighbors. She liked to socialize, but with
her rapid decline she missed several opportunities to do so.
Susie was a number cruncher with excellent customer service skills. She
usually worked in offices that had warehouses attached, so she would
definitely get her step in everyday (if that had been a thing back
then). Susie’s husband served our country in the Army with three tours
to Vietnam, three Purple Hearts and other honors. Susie will be buried
in the Dallas Fort Worth National Cemetery with him.
