Linda Lomax, 77, of Sandhill, MS, passed away in her sleep on May 15, 2026.
She is survived by her husband of 55 years, Johnny Dale Lomax; her daughter, Natasha Lomax; her son, Lance Lomax; her grandson, Devin Lomax and his longtime girlfriend, Kaylea Jenkins; her sisters, Cathy Jordan (George) and Tammie Terry; her father, Willie Lee Buckley; and many dearly loved in-laws, nieces, and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her mother, Ruth Ward Buckley (2016), and her grandson, Dalin Lomax (2018).
Linda loved her family deeply. Time with them brought her lasting joy, and their presence ignited a smile through her final days. She loved her dogs and found joy in caring for others. She also enjoyed cooking and gardening.
Linda was a Christian who often celebrated her faith at spirit-filled church gatherings. She also loved music: Elvis was a favorite.
She will be remembered for her selflessness, warmth, and the joy she brought to those around her.
A private burial ceremony will be held for close friends and family at Mt. Pisgah Baptist Church Cemetery in Brandon, MS, on Thursday, May 28, at 2:30 p.m.
A public Celebration of Life will follow from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. at 234 Highway 481, Pelahatchie, MS 39145 (look for the tall grain silo).
