Throughout her 64 years of life, she continued to reside in Dallas, TX with her family. Linda was preceded in death by her Father, Robert H. Reynolds, Mother, Lois L. Bourquin Reynolds and oldest brother, Larry G. Reynolds. She is survived by her husband of 42 years, Jose (Joe) Mata Sr., daughter, Melisa Gardea, Son in law, Juan Gardea and grandson Jalen Gardea.

Linda is also survived by her older brother Randy Reynolds and her younger brother Robert L. Reynolds and wife, Pamela. Linda had many brothers-in-law and their spouses and one sister in law and her husband along with many nieces and nephews whom she loved dearly. Linda was a devoted wife, mother, sister, grandmother, great-grandmother, Auntie and beloved friend to so many people and will be missed dearly. As anyone who knew her well, knows she was guided to heaven by her parents and brother and most likely, immediately started looking for Elvis Presley flirting and bragging that they shared the same birthday. May she rest in Eternal Peace without any more pain and suffering, for now she has become the Heavenly Angel that she always strived to be in life.
