Linda Gayle Rohner

November 16, 1946 – August 4, 2025

A resident of Amite, LA, passed away on Monday, August 4, 2025 at North Oaks Medical Center in Hammond, LA. She was born November 16, 1946 in Amite, LA and was 78 years of age. 

Linda was a graduate of Woodland High School and began working for the Louisiana Department of Health, Hammond Developmental Center soon after graduating. She worked as a nursing assistant until she retired. She was a devoted member of the First Baptist Church of Roseland. For many years she was an active volunteer at church events and the Hope Center.  

Linda enjoyed life to the fullest. She loved spending time with her family and traveling with her sister. She especially enjoyed listening to live music. Her favorites were hymnals and old country music. When she was at home, you could often find her cooking or working on word puzzles and sharing stories of her childhood.

Prayer Focus

Today, let’s pray for all the support staff at local schools which includes bus drivers, paras, office workers, nurses, etc. It takes many people to keep the school system going! Let’s pray the 2025-2026 school year is the best yet for them.

“Others”

Today, let’s pray for “others” who are facing medical appointments and related changes in their lives. We often have changes we didn’t plan for or hope for, but they come into our lives anyway. Pray for good options and good transitions. May we be less self-centered and more concerned for other people. In many cases, we may be able to identify needs and take actions. Let’s be the “hands and feet” if and when needed by others.

Pine Ridge Bible Study

We are preparing for our new ladies’ Bible study which begins in September. It’s not too late to decide to join us. Kathey Wales is the teacher. We meet at Pine Ridge. If you need more information, I’ll be glad to assist you.

Hymn/Song Titles

Did you write the names of songs that strengthen your walk with God a couple weeks ago? I did. I still have them placed all around the house. I see many of them every day. They are good reminders to pause and pray. I’m going to keep them where they are for a while. They serve good purposes in my daily prayer live.

Thank-you for reading and praying today.
