Linda was a wonderful daughter, sister, mother and grandmother. She loved her work, spending time with her children and grandchildren. In her spare time she loved to read, do cross stitch and spend time in her flower garden. While it wasn’t her favorite pastime she also painted every home she lived in and was as talented as many professionals.

Linda worked in the SMC-Emergency Department for 24 years. She impacted many lives through her dedicated and compassionate care as a nurse and caregiver throughout her lifetime.

As a young girl Linda traveled across the United States with her father and sister and loved telling stories about her adventures and exciting experiences.

Linda came to Stillwater immediately following her high school graduation and met her husband of 48 ½ years. Linda and her family lived a few years in Perkins and Tulsa, OK but the remainder of her life was spent in Stillwater.

She was preceded in death by her grandmother, Ruth; parents, Floyd Decker, Elizabeth and Richard Walker; and sister, Catherine Bumgarner.

She is survived by her daughter, Lisa Stilts (Jim), Homewood, Illinois; sons, Larry Compton, Stillwater, Kevin (Chrissy) Compton, Stillwater; grandchildren, Andrea, Callista, Deondrea, Dray, Kaylee, Trace and Cadence; brother-in-laws, Bob Compton (Carole), Livermore, CA; Keith Compton (Sally), Oklahoma City; and sister-in-law, Teresa Tully (Steve), Stillwater; many nieces and nephews and her SMC family.
