Linda Louise McClure

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Linda Richards McClure, who peacefully departed this life on July 15, 2025, at her home in Midlothian, Texas, surrounded by her beloved family. She was 79 years old.

Born on July 28, 1945, in San Deigo (La Mesa), California, Linda lived a life marked by love, resilience, and quiet strength.

She was preceded in death by her devoted husband, Richard McClure; her cherished daughters, Meshelle McClure Dracoulis and Stefani McClure.

Linda is survived by her loving son, Michael McClure, and daughter-in-law, Sharon McClure; her treasured grandchildren, Stachia McClure, Aaron Dracoulis (wife, Adriana), Jordan Dracoulis (wife, Vicki), Jeremy Dracoulis, and Andrew Dracoulis; and her adored great-granddaughter, Katalina Dracoulis.

Linda found deep joy in the natural world. An avid birdwatcher and plant enthusiast, she loved working at a nursery where she could nurture her knowledge of trees and flowers. She had a lifelong fondness for the beach and water, embracing nature with a curious and adventurous heart. In her later years, she returned to the crafts of her youth, taking great pride in sewing and crocheting beautiful handmade pieces.

A private graveside service was held on Monday, July 28, 2025, at Moore Funeral Home and Memorial Parks, 1219 North Davis Drive, Arlington, Texas 76012.
