Linda Thibodeaux – Employee Spotlight

The next time you see one of our Home Furniture Plus Bedding delivery trucks on the road or feel the comfortable A/C or heating blowing in any of our eight locations across East Texas and Louisiana, chances are, Linda Thibodeaux has helped keep them running smoothly. Linda joined Home Furniture on January 27th, 2007. Formerly a long-time Auto Zone employee, she is one of several of our DC staff who “came along with the building” (so to speak).

As our Chainwide Operations Office Manager, just some of her responsibilities include:

• Takes care of all business cards for the chain
• Oversees Candidate pre-employment screening
• Employee Time & attendance processing
• Accounts Payable processing
• Purchasing & maintenance for all company vehicles
• Purchasing & maintenance for all equipment and facilities
• Customer service solutions assistance

Craig Holston, Human Resources Manager, says:

“Linda Thibodeaux is part Energizer Bunny and part Pac Man! Her motor is always running full-throttle and she gobbles up any task thrown her way with a great attitude and a smile. She plays an important role affecting every employee in the company as well as many vendors and customers. Home Furniture is lucky to have such a great asset as Linda!”

To know Linda is to know that she is passionate about her job and for all of us who work for Home Furniture. When she is not working, her passion is all about spending time with her family, especially her grandkids, 11 year old Rees, 9-year-old Piers, and 2-year-old Ava. And then there’s fishing! Let’s just say that the fish at Toledo Bend or the Atchafalaya Basin swim in fear of Linda Thibodeaux!

“I like to keep our trucks and stores well maintained and alive!” says Linda.

Born in Arnaudville, La. and raised in Carencro, La., Linda resides there with her husband, Ricky, and their dog, Duke. They have two adult children, Mandy and Jordan.
