Linda Phillips, who without ever playing a single note put an indelible mark on the iconic Athens music community, has died.
Phillips, the founder of Nuçi’s Space, died Wednesday evening in New York City after a yearlong bout with pancreatic cancer, Nuçi’s Space executive director Bob Sleppy confirmed Thursday afternoon.
“Linda was just an amazing lady,” Sleppy said Thursday evening. “For as open and kind and loving as she was, she was also somebody you just didn’t want to mess with. If she made up her mind she was going to do something, you’d better join her or just get the hell out of her way. That’s how Nuçi’s Space got open.
