Ms. Cathy Ann Newsome Linebarger, 69, of Hazlehurst, passed away Aug. 29 at Memorial Health in Savannah.
Ms. Linebarger was born July 12, 1957, in Savannah to Earl Newsome and Mary Kathleen Johnson Newsome. She was a devoted caregiver who lovingly raised her children as well as nieces and nephews, which also led to her caring for elderly family members. She loved life, which was evident in the way she loved those she cared for. She was also a fighter, while overcoming colon cancer in her late thirties. To know her was to love her.
Survivors include her daughter Tara Linebarger; son Rodney Linebarger; son-in-law Jeremy Snell; granddaughter Nava Snell; step-sons Raleigh (April) Mills and Jonathan (Brooke) Mills; sisters Linda (Jerry) Blanton, Carolyn Barlow, Mary Josey and Pam Hodges; brothers Wilburn (Peggy) Newsome, Randy (Donna) Newsome, Tommy Newsome, Andy Newsome and Ricky Newsome; several nieces and nephews.
