Dr. Linda Mae Turner Fortenberry

I will miss Dr. Fortenberry so much! She really looked out for me and my son when we first moved to Tallahassee! Such a mentor, friend and Sister in Christ. We will truly miss her!

My deepest condolences Mrs. Fortenberry was my principal at Albert Wicker and my kids

Dr. Fortenberry will remain in my heart as a dear friend, an accomplished educator, and an astute visionary. It was my pleasure to serve as her 3rd Vice Pres of the First District Missionary Baptist Association's Woman's Auxiliary from 2003-2007, as we worked together on many positive occasions. Much love and prayerful condolences to her family, in Jesus' name, Amen.

Few persons are born to educate, to serve, and to love., and to balance such, throughout the course of their lives. I thank God that the Dr. Linda Fortenberry, was a shooting star, whose light , l beheld, to do all three simultaneously, through Christ Jesus. As an Orleans Parish School Board Educator, she aided me patiently, in methods and in empathy, to teach,' The Whole Child'. As a Christian Woman, she navigated my path within religious organizations, as l stood my ground, in male dominated Clergical leadership. In community , she was a steadfast ear, and a stern voice , for matters involving the least, the last, and the left out. We shall see her in the morning, be steadfast, Rev. Deninah Goodwin, Sr. Pastor, The Zion Christian Ministries

My deepest sympathy to all those who are grieving — as I am — Linda's passing. She has been a joy in my life from the time I was born; I will love her forever. Linda's mother ("Mama Turner") guided me throughout my childhood, and her sisters (Cherrie & Ellen) were a blessing to me always. May she rest in peace, and may perpetual light shine upon her.
