Linda Faye (Peak) Wallis, 79, of Garden Ridge, Texas, and most recently of Pearland, Texas passed away peacefully on December 10^th, 2023, surrounded by her family.

Linda was born on December 31, 1943, to Alton Peak and Maude McBride Peak in San Antonio, Texas.  After graduating from Thomas A. Edison High School in 1961, she worked at USAA and Broadway National Bank in various administrative capacities.
