Linda Sue Lacy Tutcher, age 84, passed away on Wednesday, December 17, 2025 at Piedmont Athens Regional. She was married to Douglas Colin Tutcher on August 15, 1966 at Eglin Air Force Base in Florida. Born in Enterprise, Alabama, she was the daughter of the late Irby Chester Lacy and Minnie Florence Lacy. She graduated from Geneva High School in 1960, earned her Bachelor’s degree from Troy University in 1963, and received her Master’s degree in 1984 from Fort Valley State. Her husband’s career in the Air Force led them to reside in various locations, and they eventually moved from Warner Robins to enjoy their home on Lake Sinclair.

Linda was a dedicated educator, having taught for twenty-five years with the Houston County Board of Education in Warner Robins, GA and retired in May of 1998. She was named Woman of The Year. Linda enjoyed gardening, traveling, cooking, baking, and spending quality time with her family. She was especially known for her homemade pies and macaroni and cheese. Her greatest joy was sharing life with her husband, the love of her life. They were married for 56 years before the Lord called him home in 2022. The couple were active members of Christ Our King and Savior Catholic Church, participating in many ministries including ushering, greeting, Eucharistic ministry, and Martha’s Closet. She was also a member of the Ladies Circle.
