      Lynda Sue Garland

      June 19, 2026

      Lynda Sue Garland, 73 of Southern Shores, NC, passed away peacefully, surrounded by family on June 19, 2026 in Nags Head, NC. Born February 7, 1953, she was the middle daughter of Kenneth and Francis Alexander who preceded her in death.

      Lynda had many roles in her lifetime. She was a loving wife, mother, daughter, sister and friend; but her most gratifying role began when she became a grandmother. Her three grandchildren Jordan, Kaiden and Madison became her entire world. The relationship they shared simply put: irreplaceable.

      Lynda was a people person who never met a stranger. To know her was to love her! When she had a moment to spare, you could find her in her sewing room! Her business Sand and Seams Embroidery was something she was very passionate about. She loved creating one- of- a- kind custom pieces for people looking to make memories. Lynda’s impact on this world is and will remain unmatched. She left behind a legacy that will continue to live within her children and grandchildren.

      We will endure a lifetime of missing you for the privilege of loving you. This is not goodbye; it’s see you later. Rest easy mama. We got it from here.

      Lynda is survived by her husband of 45 years, Charles Garland of the Southern Shores, NC home; her two children, Kenneth Garland (daughter- in -law Tabatha Garland) of Kitty Hawk, NC and Shannon Garland of Southern Shores, NC; her three grandchildren, Jordan, Kaiden and Madison Garland all of Kitty Hawk, NC; her brother, Marc Alexander of Pennsylvania; and many nieces and nephews.

      To honor the life of Lynda, a memorial service will be held at Gallop Funeral Chapel in Nags Head, NC Tuesday June 30, 2026 at 3:00 pm est. Pastor R. Heath Jackson will officiate. Please share a message of comfort with the Garland family via the online register at gallopfuneralservices.com.

        OUR HISTORY

        The Nags Head Chapel and Company Headquarters

        Nags Head Chapel

        Gallop Funeral Services, Inc. was founded in Nags Head, NC in 2006 by licensed North Carolina Funeral Director Courtney N. Gallop. This independent, minority and woman-owned start-up funeral home challenged the existing monopoly firm which had sole control of all funeral care, goods, and services provided in Manteo, the Outer Banks, and Currituck County for nearly 100 years.

        Finally - someone brought competition into the local funeral industry. As a direct result of Gallop Funeral Services, Inc., local families now have choices, options, alternatives, fairer pricing, flexibility, and a higher level of service in funeral care for their loved ones.

        The Barco Memorial Chapel - Currituck

        Barco Chapel

        In 2016, Gallop Memorial Chapel was opened in Barco, NC. The spacious, newly remodeled facility is the first and only funeral service-related business ever to locate in Currituck County. The Barco Gallop Memorial Chapel is conveniently located near the Outer Banks, Moyock and Elizabeth City. The elegant yet relaxing chapel interior is welcoming and comfortable for viewings, family gatherings, funerals, and memorial services. Our Barco chapel is perfectly equipped to serve all faiths and families in the county.

        Courtney Gallop and the staff at Gallop Funeral Services, Inc. are committed to excellence. We continue to improve, grow, invest, and learn in order to provide the highest level of service for all families entrusted to our care.

        Capital Crematory

        Capital Crematory

        In 2011, we built and established Capital Crematory, the first and only crematory ever in Dare County. The crematory supports Gallop Funeral Services and also provides professional cremation services for other funeral homes in the Albemarle area. Having our own local crematory means your loved one's cremation will be handled personally by owners of the funeral home, 100% locally, quickly, and at the best pricing.
