Linda Jean Johnson, age 80, of Batesville, Indiana, passed away on Sunday, November 1, 2026.

She was born on June 30, 1946, in Batesville to Lee and Lucy (née Phipps) Moody. Linda worked as a nurse’s aide at the Sisters of St. Francis in Oldenburg, where she cared for others with quiet dedication.

She loved to read and was a devoted fan of The Lord of the Rings and a superfan of J.R.R. Tolkien. Those who knew her remember her for the stories she enjoyed and the quiet joy she found in the pages of a good book.

Linda is survived by her sons, Logan Johnson of Batesville and Lincoln Johnson of Indianapolis; her grandchildren, Brook Johnson and Hanna Johnson; her great-grandchildren, Feliz and Kelyn; and her brothers, Dale and Ed Moody.

She was preceded in death by her parents and by her brother, Arnold Moody, and her sister, Doreen “Reenie” Williams.

Burial will be held at a later date at Methodist Cemetery in Batesville.

Memorial contributions may be made to the family by mailing them to Meyers Funeral Home, P.O. Box 202, Batesville, IN 47006.
