On this day, we celebrate the life of Belinda Lee Dixon, “Linda.” Linda was born on Oct. 15, 1958, in Shelbyvile, TN to the late John Buchanan and Betty (Sparrow) Buchanan. She was also preceded in death by her brothers, John Buchanan, Jr., Phillip Buchanan, and a devoted uncle and aunt, Butch and Judy Sparrow.
