Celebrating the life of
Sally Barbee Linkenhoker
July 09, 1924 - April 28, 2021
Sally's vivacious personality, topped with her bright smile and dimples, would light up any room.
Wilmington Island, Georgia
Mrs. Sally Barbee Linkenhoker, 96, passed away Wednesday evening, April 28, 2021 at her home surrounded by her loving family.
Sally was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend. She treasured her family and embraced every moment with them. Whether it was playing cards until the wee hours of the night, talking on the phone, reading a romance novel, or traveling the world. Sally was always having fun and making people laugh. She especially loved her role as “Nena” and treasured each one who called her by that name. Her vivacious personality, topped with her bright smile and dimples, would light up any room.
Sally worked very hard all her life, helping her husband build Shoney’s Restaurants around the South as well as other restaurants, developments, and real estate ventures throughout the United States.
Sally leaves behind her son and daughter in law, Curt and Dawn Linkenhoker; grandchildren, Kevin Linkenhoker (Cynthia), Beth Baker (Cliff), Karen Mumford (Aaron), Brandi Zittrauer (Travis), Amber Linkenhoker (Dereck), Patrick Linkenhoker (Melissa); 15 great-grandchildren, two great-great-grandchildren; and numerous nieces and nephews.
Sally is finally reunited with her husband and favorite road trip companion, Bill; her dearly missed son, Danny; her four sisters, Barbara Harrison, Mary Harger, Marie Heater, Judy Stringer; five brothers, James, Leroy, Johnny, Sherman and Frank Barbee; and many dear friends.
Visitation will be held on Monday, May 3, 2021 from 6:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m. at Fox & Weeks Funeral Director, Islands Chapel.
Graveside service celebrating Sally’s warmth, devotion, and love for life, will be held on Tuesday, May 4, 2021 at 12:00 Noon in Greenwich section of Bonaventure Cemetery.
In lieu of flowers the family suggests donations in Sally’s memory be made to Hospice Savannah, P.O. Box 13190, Savannah, GA 31416.

Mrs. Sally was my favorite gardening customer. We spent countless hours talking about life, love, our pasts. I truly enjoyed making her happy by tending to her plants, reviving her secret garden, and just hanging out together. My husband and daughter send their condolences as well. We love you Mrs. Sally! I bet you are so happy to be reunited with those you missed so much. So many wonderful memories and laughs!
