Linda Petty
March 1947 - February 2025
It’s with a heavy heart that we share the passing of our beloved Linda Petty, whose joyful and vibrant presence and beautiful voice brought warmth, creativity, and inspiration to so many of us in the SCA community.
Linda touched so many lives at the Sammons Center and across North Texas. She was a talented vocalist and mesmerizing performer, and we know her memory will forever sparkle in our hearts.
The Sammons Center for the Arts will share details about Linda’s memorial service as soon as they become available for those who wish to attend and honor her legacy. In the meantime, we invite you to hold Larry, the Petty family, and their friends, along with the many artists who worked with Linda, in your thoughts and cherish the moments you shared.
