I remember all the long ago days in our youth when we were so carefree & played at your house or across the street at charmaine house.  Jumping rope with the Fairview team & you & I doing the double ropes because we were the tallest & could really do those big heavy ropes the team jumped in. See you in heaven one day my friend

So many memories came flooding  back when I heard of Linda's passing. I had been aware of her failing health and we had talked at length of her acceptance  and her deep faith in a God who she knew intimately and trusted completely.  There were five of us girls who "hung out" in the neighborhood on Grand Avenue n Ottumwa.  Patty Wilbanks Neal lived next door to Linda.  Charmaine Leedall lived across the street  on  one side.  I lived across the street  on another side and Judy Pregon Wilson  lived a couple of blocks from Grand.  Ironically, Patty and I were the oldest and the only ones still living.  So many good memories of  fun times  and all growing  to become  strong, faith-filled  women.  Although we all went our own  different directions that growing-up connection was always there.  Linda touched a lot of lives and left an indelible mark on all of us.  Rest in peace, old friend.

Thank you Linda!  Thank you for Sharing a Birthday with me and all the kind Memories we made.  All the biblical talks we’ve had.  You always made me feel better.  I truly felt I was in Gods hands when we visited. I always thought of you as my Spiritual Mother!  I thank God for putting you in my life and sharing as special friendship!   You brought up 2 amazing daughters and I am so Lucky to have them as my friends!  Rest in Pease My Beautiful Friend 🙏😘❤️

Krista, Julie, Clint and Family...
As former members of Grandview Church, I was pleased to pull out our 1986 church directory and see your family as we remember you then.. Your Mom was a beautiful Christian woman who loved you all deeply and inspired many as she served her Lord.  With our sympathy to you at her passing.

One of those special godly women I was privileged to know as Pastor and friend.  God’s continued grace for the family at this difficult time.

Linda, my second mother. You have treated me as your own since the young age of 15 until now. You have taught me so many things throughout my life. Most importantly how to be a good human being. You have always led by example and Gods word. The most honest, genuine, kind person that I have ever known.  Always there for each and everyone of us through our difficult times in life. Always there for your grandchildren and great grandchildren even as your own health declined.  Never missing a game, sporting event or just the opportunity to come see them. Truly an inspiration to the kind of person that I strive to be. I would not be the person I am today if you had not come into my life. I will miss all the wonderful meals and Sunday dinners you made for us. The "table gifts" at Christmas and so many other great memories that I will cherish forever. Love you from the bottom of my heart and will miss you like I've never missed anyone else. And for the people that say "nobody is perfect " obviously never got a chance to meet Linda Leedall  !! 

Linda and I sang in the choir for many years together. I will always remember when she sang solos that blessed my heart. She had a voice of an angel! She was a beautiful lady with a Godly testimony that touched many hearts! I will miss her!!

I didn't know her well and only met her a couple times when I was growing up, but she had a great heart and was always very nice. I'm very sorry for your loss.

Linda was one of the nicest people I’ve ever known. She was a joy to work with and I enjoyed her friendship over the years. I know she’s happy to be home.  Thoughts & prayers for her family.

I've know linda since we started kindergarden at Fairview school in ottumwa. She & I were the tallest little girls in the whole class, even all the boys. We laughted about that later. Her sister Carol Ann was later married to my cousin. She was my touch stone to the early yrs as we grew older. We have been bff and I will miss our faith talks & her happy spirit. God said well done my faithful one & took her home to be with Him. I will see you again in the presence of christ Jesus & I know your arms will be wide open to welcome me.

What puts a smile on my face during this grieving process is knowing that Linda lived her life on this earth very much entrenched in her faith and demonstrated to all of us on a daily basis how to pick up our cross and follow in the footsteps of Jesus and His disciples.  She leaves a lasting impression that we all hope to mimic in our own lives.

Linda was such a sweetheart. When I started at IIGE (MidAmerican) 35+ years ago, she was one of the first I got to know and was a great help. She will be missed. Condolences to the family.

Such a lovely woman that I knew through work. Everyone who knew her liked her. God rest her beautiful soul. My sympathy to those left behind.
