Hall impacted Kathryn Kuhlman, Oral Roberts and many other evangelists whose names later became household names. Linzey and Hall led a "Hallelujah Parade" with Aimee Semple McPherson in San Diego. A distant cousin of Mother Maybelle Carter of the famed Carter Family, Linzey's and Carter's common ancestry merges in England just a few hundred years ago.

Linzey is even a closer cousin to President Andrew Jackson, and her son, former Air Force Captain James F. Linzey, wrote the Space Force Hymn Creator of the Universe. Her husband, Stanford E. Linzey, Jr., was a World War II hero as a survivor of Japan's attack on the USS Yorktown during the Battle of Midway. He worked his way up the ranks to Captain.
