Linda had a sweet nature and a quick wit, the kind of person people instantly liked. She had a way of making others feel cared for, whether with a big smile or something lovingly made with her own hands.

She treasured the companionship of her dogs, who brought her endless joy; to her, they were family. Her warmth, humor, and gentle presence left a lasting impression on all who knew her. Linda will be deeply missed and forever remembered.
Linda is survived by her two daughters, Natalie (Justin) Bonham and Katie Sanders, and four grandsons, Jake, Liam, Ryker, and Ezra.
She was proceeded in death by her parents, Orben and Hattie Jones, her husband, Harry Parker, and dogs, Tootsie, Sophia, and Chico.
Linda's ashes will be interred with her grandfather, King David Jones, in Springfield, MO.
