Linda Gale 8:00 PM CST Tuesday, January 9th, 1979
West Lake Hills, Austin, TX
Born on June 13th, 1942 in Arkadelphia, AR. One grandfather owned a country store & was a baptist minister; the other was a cotton & corn farmer. When Linda Gale was a baby, her parents: Robert L. & Lola Marie Thompson moved to Dallas, TX & later settled in Irving, TX., where Linda Gale was raised. Her father was nearing retirement after working as manager for Wyatt's Cafeteria after 27 years. Like her husband, Mark, Linda Gale did not grow up in affluent surroundings, but she had a secure childhood which was reflected in her self-assurance & a naturally warmth with both friends & strangers.
She was a popular teenager, an "A" student & was a member of many school organizations as well as being an active member of the First Baptist Church. She credited this early commitment to school, community & church activities into her adult life. Her volunteer projects have included working in the newborn infant nursery at Saint David's Hospital in Austin, working as a career counselor at the Austin Women's Center helping displaced homemakers find jobs, teaching cardiopulmonary resuscitation & supporting the Austin Symphony League, the Paramount Theatre & the Austin Junior League.
Linda Gale continued her education at Baylor University in Waco, TX., where she graduated in 1964 with a Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration. It was there that she met Mark Wells White, Jr., whom she married in November of 1966 when she was 24 & he was 26.
Her life has been full ever since; she taught vocational education at Johnson High School in Austin, TX & later taught high school in Houston. In the mid-1970s, she began an active career in real estate sales. Ever more important to Linda Gale than the many contributions she made as a teacher, businesswoman, supporter of the arts & participant in civic & social organizations was her role as a mother to the White's 3 children: Mark Wells, III; Robert Andrew & Elizabeth Marie. |
