Linda Sue Felker, age 67, Joplin, passed away at 11:52 a.m. Monday, October 2, 2017 at her home.
Linda was born August 28, 1950 in Joplin to the late Jerry Brock and Betty Gilliam Brock and was a lifetime Joplin resident.
She owned and operated 66 Truck and Foreign Salvage in Joplin for over 30 years. Linda was a free spirit and enjoyed shopping, anything with bling, crafts, swimming, amusement parks, visiting casinos, watching reality television shows, reading Stephen King novels and listening to Willie and Elvis.
Her first priority was family. She spent countless hours supporting her husband's, sons' and grandsons' racing careers. Linda loved spending time with all of her grandchildren and always looked forward to family gatherings. Christmas was a special time at the Felker house. She expected lists from everyone and made sure that everyone was spoiled rotten. She will be missed by all who knew her.
She married Raymond 'John' Felker on June 4, 1966 in Duenweg. He preceded her in death on August 17, 2005.
Linda was also preceded in death by a brother, Tom Brock.
Survivors include two sons, Danny Felker and his wife, Sandra, Carl Junction, Denny Felker and his fiance, Tina Nelson, Joplin; a brother, Carl Brock and his wife, Kay, Broken Arrow, Oklahoma; sister-in-law, Sharon Brock, Joplin; grandchildren, Ashlea Belcher and husband, Shaun, Hailey, Andrew, Denny, Jr., Erin; seven great grandchildren and her fur baby, Cootie.
Graveside services are planned for Thursday at 2:00 p.m. at Osborne Memorial Cemetery. Bill Hobson will officiate. The family will receive friends immediately following the services at Linda's home, 1386 S. Black Cat Road, Joplin.
The family would like to give special thank to Jaye and staff at Hospice Compassus. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to Hospice Compassus, in care of Parker Mortuary.
Arrangements are under the direction of Parker Mortuary.
