Obituary

Powell, Margaret Linda, 71, of Chesterfield, Va., went to be with her Lord and Savior on August 20, 2020 after many years of health issues. Our beautiful wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, sister, aunt, cousin, and friend reluctantly bid farewell to this life. Linda better known as Maw-Maw made this world a better place by her love for everyone she met. She had a tender heart for all those who were hurting and less fortunate. She loved all things Mickey Mouse, Dale Earnhardt, Casino Gambling and Family. If you were in her presence you never left hungry. She retired from Coca-Cola in 2001 after 20 years of service. She enjoyed a second retirement from City of Hopewell in 2007 after 5 years of service.
