Linda Bennett’s Life of Love and Legacy | Wilmington News

Mary Linda Clark Bennett, 88, passed peacefully at home in Castle Hayne, NC, leaving behind a legacy of love, laughter, and legendary Southern cooking. She met her first husband, George, on her first day of college in 1956 — a romance that lasted 48 years and took them from Virginia to Hawaii as military families. After George’s passing, she found joy again with David Pierce, sharing decades of sun-drenched summers in Holden Beach and quiet evenings in Warsaw. Known for her sweet tea, macaroni pie, and sharp Bridge Club wit, Linda’s warmth touched everyone who knew her. A celebration of her life will be held August 15th at Susannah and Kathy’s home — and in lieu of flowers, donations to Lower Cape Fear LifeCare are requested.
