With the exception of a few years in North Carolina (about 15) she has been around ever since. After she was ordained to the Sacred Order of Deacons in October 2005, Bishop Jenkins assigned her to St. Alban’s. Linda is married to Lance Armstrong and they are the parents of Elizabeth Guidry and the grandparents of Megan and Ethan. Linda received an undergraduate degree from LSU in 1985 after managing to cram a four-year education into 17 years. She completed the Education for Ministry program in 2006 and has attended the Oxford University (UK) Summer School in Religious Studies. Linda and her husband are avid LSU football fans and enjoy sitting in the same Tiger stadium seats Lance’s parents secured before he was born. From Monday through Friday, Linda is the Director of Pastoral Services at St. James Place, a retirement community in south Baton Rouge. Linda is confident that as soon as she finds some free time, she’ll find a hobby.

Yes, you guessed right—it’s Will! Born in Baton Rouge, moved to Colorado Springs, CO at age six, and moved back to Baton Rouge again after college, Will attended his first morning service at St. Alban’s with his wife Heather shortly after they were married in 2000. By the end of 2001, he and Heather moved in upstairs and have since been devoted to the hospitality ministries along with their two cats Béa and Weezi – who have, by the way, kept all the mice away. Will currently works at the Paul M. Hebert Law Center Library as he studies part time for a Ph.D. in Educational Technology.

She speaks a little Cajun French, is a self-taught chef, and recently conquered Vail Pass on her road bike (sort of). Heather found a spiritual home in St. Alban’s in December, 2000. Less than a year later she made it her residence as well when she and Will became Chapel Residents. Heather is almost never at rest and works and plays tirelessly. She can usually be found engaged in lively conversation at the public library where she works as a reference librarian.
