Linda Blue joined the United house of prayer for all people. She gained a strong connection with God and made sure her children also had that connection because of how leader sweet daddy Grace spoke of him. She became a house maid for Daddy Grace in Petersburg Virginia. She joined the junior female ushers and for many years participated in all that the house of prayer had to offer.

She joined McCullough’s marching bugle corp. Where she carried a flag beside her best friend Bernice Parker and Denise Goode. No matter what life had in store, her faith in God grew stronger which made her start her own organization called P.A.C.O. Linda kicked in doors making sure families got a home and stayed together, aside from helping unfortunate people get housing she also made sure  children had toys for Christmas. She made sure she taught her children to never turn their backs on anyone In need because you don’t know what a person might be going through. She never turned away anyone who was hungry.
