Linda Faye Carver

Linda Faye Carver, 81, of Louisville, Kentucky, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, March 31, 2026.

Born on January 23, 1945, in Louisville, Kentucky, Linda was the beloved daughter of Russell and Mary Hayes and twin sister to Brenda Kaye. She lived a life centered on love, family, and caring for others, leaving a lasting impression on everyone who knew her.

Linda was a devoted mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, aunt, and dear friend. Her family was the heart of her world, and she wrapped her life around those she loved most. She had a happy-go-lucky spirit paired with a touch of feistiness that made her both endearing and unforgettable.

A natural caregiver, Linda spent her life looking after her boys and extending that same warmth and compassion to everyone in her family. She found joy in simple pleasures—watching movies, coloring, occasionally playing video games, and spending cherished evenings with loved ones gathered around the table for card games.

Linda’s presence brought comfort, laughter, and love to those around her. She will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by all who had the privilege of knowing her.

Her legacy lives on in the family she adored and the countless memories they will forever hold close to their hearts.

Linda is preceded in death by 2 sons, Robert Anthony Carver and Mark Wayne Carver; grandson, William Clayton Carver Jr.; twin sister, Brenda Kaye Hayes Woods; brother-in-law, Jimmy Woods; and her parents, Russell Carson Hayes and Mary Frances Thornton Hayes.

Left to cherish her memory, Linda is survived by 2 sons, William “Bill” Carver (Dreama) and Michael Carver; 4 grandchildren, Jordan Michelle, Jesse Allen, Shelby Cora (Caleb), and Olivia Jade (Ethan); 4 great-grandchildren, Lyric Kingslee, Lillian Eloise, Avani Lynn, and Aaliyah Jade; 2 nephews, Joe Woods (Kara) and Tim Woods; 3 great nieces/nephews, Kailie, Christian, and Connor; and a host of extended family and close friends.
