Linda Vaughn

Linda Vaughn, age 72, passed away on June 2, 2025, at Maury Regional Medical Center in Columbia, Tennessee. Born on February 26, 1953, in Mount Pleasant, she was the daughter of the late Robert and Irene West.

Linda shared nearly 50 wonderful years of marriage with her devoted husband, Henry Vaughn. Together, they built a life full of love, laughter, and family. She had a deep love for children—especially her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, who brought her endless joy.

Known for her loyalty and warm spirit, Linda found peace in the quiet moments, often spent fishing by the water. She had a lively sense of humor and enjoyed sharing stories and catching up with friends and family—always with a sparkle in her eye and a kind-hearted nature. Linda had a gift for cooking, and her kitchen was always open. More often than not, a pot of beans was simmering on the stove, ready for anyone who stopped by.

She is preceded in death by her parents and her siblings: Melvin "Boots" West, Elvin "Peas" West, Robert "Tater" West, and Bobby Gene "Worm" West; as well as her sister-in-law, Faye Embler and brother in laws: James “Wiggy” Vaughn and Robert Vaughn.

Linda is survived by her loving husband, Henry Vaughn; her children: James Henry "Pete" (Michelle Hugueley)  Vaughn and David Vaughn; her grandchildren: Chelsie Vaughn Bales (Marc), Hailey Vaughn, and Kayla Vaughn; great-grandchildren: Rylie Armstrong and Vinnie Armstrong; her siblings: Sandra Gail West, Betty West Upton, and Joe West, and daughter in law: Julie Amanda Vaughn. 

A memorial gathering to celebrate Linda’s life will be held on Friday, June 6, 2025, from 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM at Williams Funeral Home in Mount Pleasant, Tennessee.

Linda will be remembered for her generous heart, her love of family, and the comfort of her warm meals and even warmer presence.
