The daughter of the late Paul Elisha and Gertie Randle Richardson, Lynda was married to Danny Jacobs on July 25, 1975 and together, they made a life on their farm until his passing on April 25, 2000.  She loved her work and life on the farm in Hickory Valley especially being a cattle farmer caring for the herd.
