Linnie was born on August 6, 1921 in Clayton County to Levi Ballard Hammond and Vinnie Elizabeth Hancock Hammond. She was the youngest of six children, having one sister and four brothers. She committed her life to Christ at an early age at Second Baptist Church of College Park, now known as McDonough Road Baptist Church in Fayetteville.

Linnie was a sweet, loving and caring person; a devoted wife, mother and friend, always thinking of others first. She enjoyed reminiscing and sewing for both her children and grandchildren.
In addition to her parents, sister, and brothers, Linnie was preceded in death by her devoted husband of 40 years, Lowell W. Northcutt, and her son, Dewey H. Northcutt.
