Linda Loretta Clemmons Coxwell, 82, passed away Tuesday, March 5, 2013.
Mrs. Coxwell was born in Altha, Florida, on June 20, 1930, to Dewey Lee and Ruby Barber Clemmons. Mrs. Coxwell lived in Blountstown, Florida, until moving to Crawfordville, Florida, and then to Thomasville, Georgia. After retiring, she, her husband, and their son, Sammy, returned to Crawfordville.
She was preceded in death by her husband of 62 years, Reverend Samuel Ancil Cowell; their son, Samuel Ancil Coxwell, Jr.; her parents; and her sister, Hilda Clemmons Alford.
