Linda Thompson Obituary
Linda was a woman of kindness, faith, and warmth, always putting others before herself. She found joy in the simple and meaningful moments of life-knitting, crocheting, attending church, and spending time with her cherished friends and loved ones. Her gentle spirit and generous heart touched all who had the privilege of knowing her.
Linda was a mother who loved her five children and their spouses: Richard (Diane) Jones, Jonathan (Melissa) Jones, James (Genia) Jones, Jeanetta (Charles) Bennett, and Peter (Dana) Jones. She was also a proud grandmother to eight grandchildren and a loving great-grandmother to one great-grandchild.
She was preceded in death by her husband of 19 years, Jeffry Thompson, her parents, Gerald and Jacqueline Gutekunst, her brother, Gerald Steve Gutekunst, and her sister, Laura Gutekunst.
Linda will be deeply missed but forever remembered in the hearts of her family, friends, and all who were blessed to know her.
