Linda Blue

Linda Lambert Blue, 75, of Concord, passed away Tuesday, August 18, 2020 at Tucker Hospice House in Kannapolis.

Mrs. Blue was born November 14, 1944 in Concord, North Carolina to the late Fred Lambert and the late Corrie Humphries Lambert. She was also preceded in death by several of her siblings.

Linda was a hardworker…..she ran an IHOP in busy downtown Charlotte, when her boys were little, until she opened her first restaurant, “The Community Restaurant” and then opened “Grandma’s Country Kitchen”. She was known for the best fried chicken around Concord. She loved cooking and going table to table to visit with everyone. She retired in July of 2018 but never sat still even after retiring. She loved her family and friends and would talk and laugh for hours. She loved holidays, Christmas was her favorite, always trying to make the next bigger than the last…..so she could watch the grandbabies get so excited.  She enjoyed the beach and cruising and some good sweets, ice cream, cake, cookies and candy she loved it all! Most of she loved her family and friends….always talking, dancing around, humming and singing…never could bring her down. She was one of a kind and will be missed dearly.
