Lynda Gandy Langhorne

Sept. 26, 1950 – Oct. 17, 2021

Lynda G. Langhorne, 71, of Richmond, passed away October 17, 2021. She was preceded in death by her parents, Flora and Walter Gandy from Birmingham, Alabama, as well as her husband, Charles Rolfe Langhorne Jr. whom she met in Virginia. She was survived by her daughter, Nichole Fogleman (Bryan); sister, Judy Norris (Jeff); brother, Rick Gandy (Teresa); grandchildren, Hayley and Isabelle Fogleman; nieces and nephews, other relatives, and friends.

She was greatly loved as a wife, mother, daughter, sister, aunt, grandmother, and friend. She served many of those dear to her, putting family and friends ahead of herself. She was funny, generous, and always encouraged others. She knew how to make you feel like you were all that mattered when you were in her presence.

Originally from Birmingham, Alabama, she started her life as a career woman with the Alabama Housing Authority while married to her first husband, Larry Kimbrel. After her move to Richmond, she enjoyed her new job at the Virginia Housing Authority, where she worked for many years. She attended Averett University later in life, as she always valued her education. Her compassion showed through in her hospice volunteer work, which she did for many years. She was an active member in her community and her church, Ridge Baptist, and loved to trade antiques, owning her own personal antique shop where she could let her personality and passions shine through. She loved to travel and was able to experience many exciting cities and countries alongside her husband, Rolfe Langhorne. She had a particularly close relationship with her grandchildren, Hayley and Isabelle Fogleman, who knew her as “Nana.”
