Mrs. Lynda Petty

ISF · 3/25/14, 8:05 PM

Lynda Gayle Owens Petty passed away today following a lengthy illness. Lynda was the bride of The King for well over 50 years and she was 72.

I had the distinct honor of meeting Mrs. Petty on 3 different occasions and she was as gracious as if we were long time friends. I was a Richard Petty fan at the age of 8 years old and read everything I could get my hands on about Richard and his family and racing team. Mrs. Petty was a special kind of lady in many ways not the least of which was her ability to cope with the strains on a marriage that being a racers wife can bring to bear. Linda's life overflowed with class and dignity all the days of her life and should be a role model of the caliber we all could aspire to.

May you rest in peace ma'am and may God Bless and comfort Richard and the Petty family.
