On this Holy Advent evening of December 18, 2016, Linda Leah Eckert Neese departed her earthly life. Lin, a 6th generation Texan, was surrounded by her devoted family as she peacefully continued her journey to her heavenly home.
Lin was preceded in death by her children’s father, Donald John Neese, M.D.; her parents, Fay Icet Mathews and Frank Eckert; and her grandparents, Val and Quincy Icet, John Benjamin, and Clara Perry Eckert.
She is survived by her daughter, Leah Eckert Neese; son, John Neese; daughter-in-law, Elizabeth; precious granddaughter, Tegan Neese; step-father, Ralph; and her faithful rescue dog, Romeo. She leaves her most loving step-daughters, Ginger Potthast and Julie Roush; step-granddaughters, Ali Potthast, Jennifer Robarge, Stephanie Houston and Kimberly Schonhorst; as well as Janet Flood, Joan Roush and their families. Others who will forever miss Lin’s enduring friendship are too numerous to mention, but they know who they are and they know how much she loved them.
Lin was proud of her roots in the Icet and Wilburn families of Chambers County, Texas. We also remember Lin’s 35 year connection with John Daugherty Realtors and all her fellow agents. Donations may be made to the National Ovarian Cancer Coalition (ovarian.org); SNAP; www.snapus.org and the Humane Society.
A Celebration of Life will be held on Thursday, January 5, 2017 at 11:00 A.M., at St. Martin’s Episcopal Church in Houston, Texas.
