Lynda Carole Grant Morales left this world peacefully on 11/23/2021. She was born in Lufkin, TX to Lonzo and Wylma Grant and was a loving Nana, mother, sister, and aunt.
A Navy brat growing up, she learned early on to roller skate and eventually taught the latest dances at the local rink. Lynda was a country dance instructor at Gilley's in its heyday and an avid fan of the cinema. She was a welder by trade before becoming an officer of the law for 14 years with the city of Norfolk. She cared for and groomed horses (Stonewall and Sasquatch) in Suffolk and xeriscaped a Prickly Pear forest that truly displayed her youth at her home in San Marcos. She was a collector of film, boots, dolls, and purses. She rescued two of the most vulnerable dogs with the compassion unforeseen to whoever knew her (but that, unfortunately, was too few, as she was definitely an individual who fought verbally and physically for the rights of women, animals, and individuals suffering from abuse of any kind).
An obsessive genealogist, she provided a map for any ancestor curious of the family's whereabouts and/or origin. Always giving, Lynda transcended age when playing with her adoring grandchildren and sharing with her loved ones.
Lynda was preceded by her parents, Lonzo and Wylma Grant.
She is survived by her son, Sean and daughter in law, Erica Barton; two grandchildren, Hank and Josephine; brothers, Marvin and Scott, and three nieces, Victoria, Olivia, Elizabeth, and nephew, Nicholas. May she rest and go forth in peace.
