Linda Diane Plunk

Linda Diane Plunk, born Linda Diane Ridings, passed away on November 8, 2026, in Bells, Tennessee. She was born on January 27, 1952, in Humboldt, and will be remembered as a fun-loving, witty, and strong woman whose grace, loyalty, and deep love for others shaped the lives of those around her.

Linda worked for MTD/Club Cadet for more than 27 years as a line laborer, giving years of steady dedication and hard work. Beyond her work, she embraced life with joy and personality. She loved to read, enjoyed watching scary movies, and was a devoted Elvis Presley fan. An animal lover at heart, she also found happiness in her plants and gardens, caring for them with the same warmth she gave to the people around her. Adventurous by nature, Linda brought fun wherever she went. Holidays were especially meaningful to her, and she took great delight in decorating and celebrating. She loved visiting the beach and getting that glowing tan, finding happiness in the simple pleasures that made life bright and memorable.

At the heart of Linda’s life was her family. She was committed to them and loved them so very much. She loved with everything in her soul, and that love was felt in the way she lived each day. She was faithful and loyal, graceful and never judgmental, and her presence brought warmth, laughter, and comfort to those who knew her. Linda was a so special and was known as the “Best Mother In Law” in the world.

She was preceded in death by her father, Johnny Ridings; her mother, Betty Lee Spitzer Jackson; her brothers, Kenneth Ridings and Tommy Ridings; her infant great-granddaughter, Baby Williams; and her friend and running companion, J.C. Williams. She also carried in her heart the enduring love she shared with Mr. Troy Mosier, who was truly the love of her life.

Linda leaves behind a family and circle of friends who will continue to cherish her memory. She is survived by her daughter, Tammy Phillips; her son, Scottie Mosier, and his wife, Angel; she was known as “Nana” to Justin Wayne Warren and his wife, Sarah, Chase Ellis Phillips, and Hannah Grace Williams and her husband, Jonathan; and her dear friends, Janice Roberts and Diane Sweat.
