Linda Mattox May

d. November 29, 2021

Linda Mattox May, 83, of Jasper passed away on Monday, November 29, 2021 at St. Elizabeth Hospital in Beaumont, Texas.

Linda was born on September 1, 1938 to James Carlie Mattox and Carrie Willis Mattox of Brookeland, Texas. She was a 1956 graduate of Brookeland High School and lettered in basketball all four years. After high school, she met the love of her life, G.P. “Perk” May and they married on September 7, 1961. They made their home in Louisiana for the next 27 years before moving back home to East Texas.

Linda enjoyed fishing, squirrel hunting, gospel music, and spending time with her family, especially her grandchildren.

Linda was a member of the Jasper Church of Christ. One of her favorite verses in the Bible was 1 Corinthians 13:13 And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; But the greatest of these is Love. And her favorite motto to live by was “When you choose to see the good in others, you end up finding the good in yourself.”

Linda was preceded in death by her parents, Carlie and Carrie Willis Mattox; her husband of 52 years, Perk May; brother Bryan Mattox; two sisters Hazel Jolly and Mary Mattox.

She is survived by her son Gerald Keith May and wife Kim May of Mocksville, North Carolina; a daughter Lisa Batson and husband Kris Batson of Jasper, Texas; brother Jim Mattox and wife Linda Gail Mattox of Jasper, Texas; grandchildren Lindsey Batson and Dustin Batson both of Beaumont, Texas; as well as many nieces and nephews.

A private Celebration of Life service will be held with her family at a later date. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations can be made to the Jasper Church of Christ, Hwy 96 South, Jasper, Texas.
