Linda Jean Harvel was born April 17, 1944 in Bentonville, Arkansas to Harold and Vernice Myers. She passed away surrounded by the love of her family on April 30, 2026, at Oak Pointe Assisted Living in Neosho, Missouri.

Linda was a Neosho High School graduate, class of 1962. She continued her education at Southwest Missouri State College and Joplin Junior College. She later returned to Crowder College to earn her LPN and RN degrees. She was a compassionate and dedicated nurse whose calling was to serve the elderly. While she found great fulfillment in nursing, her heart was always at home with her husband and children.
