Linda Lusk Salley, age 60, passed away on March 8, 2026, at Baptist Hospital in Columbus, Mississippi. She was the daughter of Delmon Anthony, Sr. and Bonnie Jean Garrett Dodd of Eupora, and was the wife of Joe Salley of Eupora.

Linda was a self-employed hairdresser who loved doing hair and makeup. Her fondness for bright colors reflected her vibrant personality, and her family remembers her as a spirited and feisty woman. Linda enjoyed camping and spending time at Grenada lake, but above all she cherished her children and grandchildren. She also devoted time to caring for her sister, and shared an especially close bond with her mother, Bonnie.

Linda is survived by her husband Joe; two sons, Tyler Leech (Danielle) of Smithville and Joseph Salley (Kristen) of Grenada; one daughter, Lindsey Gill (Cole) of Hamilton; three brothers, Tony Anthony (Dawn) of Eupora, Mike Lusk (Melinda) of Tomnolen, and Jon Anthony of Saucier; four sisters, Rhonda Abbott of Eupora, Dee Hatten (Billy) of Hattiesburg, Gail Null of Meridian, and Kay Mitchell of Meridian; six grandchildren, Westley Gill, Ali Cole Gill, Blakely Gill, Stella Leech, McArthy Leech, and Livy Sullivan; and her special friend, Felicia Embry.

Linda was preceded in death by her parents, Delmon and Bonnie.
