Mrs. Linda Taylor Cowart, 82, of Adel, Georgia, passed away on June 9, 2026 at South Georgia Medical Center in Valdosta, Georgia.  Mrs. Cowart was born on April 3, 1944 in Hahira, Georgia to the late General Jackson Taylor, Jr. and the late Nell McEachern Taylor.  She lived most of her life in Adel and was a member of the First Baptist Church of Adel.  Mrs. Cowart was a Registered Nurse, licensed in Florida and Georgia, and was retired from Southwestern State Hospital in Thomasville, Georgia.
