Mae Rogers sent Living Spirit Dishgarden for Linda Bobo - November 13, 2025
Linda Bobo, was an amazing nurse, co-worker and friend. Nurses are more than just healthcare professionals; they are nurturers, advocates, and protectors of life. The Nursing profession is not for everyone, it is a challenging and demanding career where you have to balance a very busy schedule within strict time constraints while still offering compassionate care to your patients.
Linda entered the nursing program at Spartanburg General Hospital immediately after finishing high school. She became a Licensed Practical Nurse in 1975, and worked for the hospital her entire career. During her time there, the hospital was renamed Spartanburg Regional Medical Center, then Spartanburg Medical Center, and later they purchased Mary Black hospital.
Linda's specialty was Orthopedic nursing which requires a unique skill set. Towards the end of her career, Linda relocated to the Mary Black Campus when the Orthopedic unit was moved there, so her career spanned 46 years.
When Linda walked on the unit each morning she would say: "Good morning, good morning, good morning! How is everybody doing this morning!" She was always filled with joy, and when you heard her voice, and saw that big smile, you knew it was going to be a great day.
One of Linda's many qualities was to encourage others. If we were understaffed, she would say: "Don't worry, we've got this!"
Linda's many years of experience brought her a wealth of wisdom that was immeasurable to all of those who worked with her.
I relocated here from New York City, and had never worked on an Orthopedic unit before. Linda took me under her wing and taught me so many valuable lessons. Linda never minded taking time out of her busy routine to teach any of her co workers. If she saw someone struggling with a task, she would say: "Come here, let me show you something."
Linda loved everyone genuinely! Many of her qualities were due to her Christian faith, and what a faith she had! Linda had a servants heart, and was loving, kind and compassionate. Linda always put others before herself. She gave generously, and expected nothing in return.
Linda was also a great friend. There was a time when I was financially strapped and did not have a coat. Linda noticed, and the next day she came in with a beautiful warm new coat for me. And it fit perfectly!
Linda was always non judgmental. When my nephew, whom I loved, had gotten in trouble with the law and was shot and killed by a Spartanburg County police officer 21 years ago, Linda came to his viewing to comfort our family despite his criminal history.
When my grandmother and my father died within 2 days of one another, Linda was there at both viewings.
When my husband was having a quadruple bypass and I was alone in the waiting room, Linda was on duty and skipped her lunch to come and sit with me instead.
Linda loved working with her patients, and they loved her too. She delivered kind and compassionate care, but still was firm as she encouraged them to get up and move around despite their reluctance. If she discovered a health issue with a patient, she reported it immediately.
Linda leaves behind quite a legacy. She loved, and was loved by everyone and will never be forgotten. I can still hear her laughter echo down the hall as we walked off the unit after a stressful day, and she would say "Thank you Jesus, lets get on out of here!" And I do believe that she was thinking the same thing when she took her final breath, "Thank you Jesus, lets get on out of here!"
"I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. From now on there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day—and not only to me, but to all who crave His appearing." 2 Timothy 4:7-4:8
Nurse Linda, We recognize you and pay homage to your dedication to the nursing profession. You gave comfort where there was pain, courage where there was fear, and hope where there was despair. Always with a gentle touch and tenderness, patience, and love. We extend our deepest sympathies to your family. The Nurses Honor Guard of South Carolina, Spartanburg- Upstate Chapter
