Today's Featured Biography

 

 
Linda Foster George


I was born in Mena, AR, a quaint little town in the Ozark Mountains. My family moved to Jonesboro when I was in the sixth grade. I went to West Elementary School my sixth grade school year and then on to Annie Camp Junior High School and Jonesboro High School.

I met a great guy from Bay High School, Joseph Leo George, during my junior year; and we were married on August 27, 1960, just prior to beginning my senior year. Our son, Joey, was born on July 4, 1961; and our daughter, Carole, was born on February 1, 1965. We have six grandchildren, ranging in ages 21 years to 8 years of age.

Leo spent three years in the military and was stationed in Stuttgart, West Germany for most of that time. While we were living in Germany we traveled to Italy, visiting in Florence, Venice, Pisa, and Rome. After the military we moved back to Jonesboro, where we reared our family. Both of our children are graduates of Jonesboro High School.

Leo and I lived in Fort Worth, Texas for nine years. During that time Leo served on the staff of two churches in the Fort Worth area. He also earned a Master of Arts degree and a PhD from Southwestern Seminary. In 1992 we moved to Louisville, KY. Leo served as the Church Administrator of one of the larger churches in Louisville until he retired from full-time ministry a few years ago.

I have worked at the Kentucky Baptist Convention for the past 16 years. It has been such a joy to be involved in missions and ministry through my work with the Convention. My work has taken me all over Kentucky, to the New England states, as well as to England, Switzerland, Germany, Greece, and The Netherlands. I was attending a conference in Coventry, England, in September 1997, when Princess Diana was killed and I actually attended the funeral service via satellite at Coventry Cathedral. I was part of a group that went to the World Equestrian Games in Aachen, Germany in 2006. It was such a blessing to travel to Greece on three different occasions.

Knowing that retirement is “just around the corner” for me, I’m looking forward to the journey God will take me on during the next chapter in my life.
