Following graduation from Dothan High School she married her high school sweetheart, Johnny Culpepper, her "gentle giant" of a man, with whom she raised three daughters.

After having been christened as an infant at the original First Presbyterian Church in downtown Dothan, her married life brought her back to the doors of First Presbyterian Church where she served in various roles.

2. Newspaper: Dothan-Eagle, 9 May 2010, Dothan, Houston, AL. ³ There are those who learned about life and death from their mothers. Linda Pollan Culpepper was diagnosed with stage four ovarian cancer more than five years ago.
She faced her illness with courage and even overcame her cancer for a while, her daughter Heather Culpepper-Beeker wrote. After the cancer returned, Linda Culpepper was hospitalized at the same hospital where her fourth grandchild was being born. She was wheeled over to hold the newest member of her family. She died less than a month later.
"While some bowl, garden or paint, my mother loved the word of God," Culpepper-Beeker said.
"This gave her strength to make it through day-to-day struggles of raising a family but mostly through the greatest battle of her life … She maintained a peace that surpassed anyone's understanding."
Her mother's example left her daughter to wonder how she could spend her time complaining of everyday frustrations. She encourages others to value their time with their own mothers. "She has been my role model in how I want to live my life and raise my own family, and above all, worship my Lord," Culpepper-Beeker said.

Linda married Johnny Culpepper on 29 Aug 1964 in Dothan, Houston, AL. (Johnny Culpepper was born on 7 Oct 1944 ⁴ and was buried in Midland City: Sunset Memorial Park, Houston, AL ⁴.)
