She was saved in a revival meeting at Charity Missionary Baptist Church as a young girl and joined that Church and was baptized. She loved her Church and had a great concern for it and remained a devoted member and attended until her health would no longer permit it. On July 16, 1966, she married the love of her life, Jerry Weeks. She worked at Bolivar Mfg., Jethro’s in Springfield, and Key Industries I Buffalo when she was younger. Most of her life she was a homemaker and was very good at that. She was talented at sewing, crafting, decorating, and especially cooking. She loved the holidays with cooking and decorating. She always wanted to make sure the families on both sides were together for the holidays, and they will, from the youngest to the oldest remember her signature dish, those Butterhorn Rolls. She had a great love for family and friends. She enjoyed going on camping trips with friends and family until her health wouldn’t permit it. Linda was preceded in death by her parents; grandparents, Ores and Annie Dill and Robert & Flossie Palmer; father-in-law and mother-in-law, Wint & Thelma Weeks; and sister-in-law, Karen Weeks.
