Editor’s choice: Best Cat Lady She’s got a big mouth but an even bigger heart. She worked for Queen Elizabeth as a teenager and had a variety of other jobs before becoming Dallas Voice’s delivery manager years ago.
In addition to making sure the newspaper is at your favorite pick-up location every Friday — through the heat of summer and the cold of winter — she also makes sure animals along her delivery route are fed and loved.
Over the years, Linda Depriter has rescued hundreds of dogs and cats. She has nursed sick animals to back health and then found them new homes.
And the ones she couldn’t find homes for, she kept for herself, spoiling them each and every one with everything from special beds, toys and clothes to home-cooked chicken meals.
