Linda House

Linda Lou House, 84, of Morehead City, passed away peacefully on Friday, September 5, 2025, surrounded by her loving grandchildren.

Born on October 3, 1940, in Steubenville, Ohio, Linda was a devoted daughter, sister, wife, mother, grandmother, and friend. She was known for her sense of humor, strong opinions, and passion for traveling, but most of all for her unwavering love of her favorite grandchild, Steven, and her next favorite, great-grandchild Emmarie. Her home was filled with endless stories of family pastimes, adventures, unconditional love, and the joy of being known as “Granny” to all who knew her.

In 1966, Linda married the love of her life, Ernest House, and together they built a beautiful life and family. She is survived by her daughter, Katherine Potter, and son-in-law, Wally; three grandchildren, Steven Potter, Mary Hall, and Katlyn Potter; two great-grandchildren, Emmarie Hall and Adeline Hall; and her brothers, Lewis Smith of Orange Park, FL, and William “Bill” Smith of Bloomingdale, OH—all of whom she loved deeply and of whom she was immensely proud.

Linda was preceded in death by her parents, Harold D. and Hazel C. Smith; her husband, Ernest L. House; and her brothers, Wayne and Charles.

A graveside service will be held on Friday, September 12, 2025, at 3:00 p.m. at Gethsemane Memorial Park in Morehead City.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made in her memory to Crystal Coast Hospice House, 100 Big Rock Weigh, Newport, NC 28570.

She will be deeply missed and forever cherished.
