Linda Gale (Cox) Wilson

Linda Gale (Cox) Wilson, a young-at-heart 71-year-old of Cameron received her new guts Saturday, July 2, 2022, at her home.

She was a devoted wife, an extraordinary mom, a lovingly accommodating Granny and a doting Nene.

She is survived by her husband of 53.5 years Mike Sr. of the home, sons Mike Jr. and wife Darylann of Cameron and Toby and wife Stephanie of Cameron, grandsons Cody Johnson and wife Cynthia of Roswell, N.M., and Derrick Johnson and girlfriend Kylah of Shady Point, granddaughter Jasi, great-granddaughter Madilynn, great-grandson Zander, special friend Chiquita Goines, sisters Edna Butner and husband Jim of Corona, Calif., Anna Mae Church of Rock Island and Debra Steward and husband Pat of Overgaard, Ariz., and brother Dave Cox and wife Linda of Greenwood, Ark., along with numerous loved ones, relatives and friends.

She was preceded in death by her parents Robert Lee Cox Sr. and Mary Frances Bowden Cox, brothers Robert Lee Cox Jr. and Joe Harold Cox, sister Betty Joe Cox Rainwater and son Jefferson Neal Wilson.

She loved going “junkin,” was very active at church, spoiling her children and grandchildren — and especially her greatgrandchildren. You were likely to find her on her porch swing listening to her old-time rock-n-roll, tending to her flowers or searching for Betty Boop items for her collection. Her favorite color was red. You would never catch her without her lipstick applied, no matter what she was up to.

Her funeral service will be 10 a.m. Thursday, July 7, 2022, at Grace Memorial Chapel in Poteau.

Pallbearers will be Cody Johnson, Derrick Johnson, Tim Church, Ray Smith, Zac Wilson and Taylor Cox. Honorary pallbearers will be Henry Nixon, Shane Cox, J.B. Billings, Andrew Wilson, Rick Jones and Kelsey Wilson.

Burial will follow at Greenhill Cemetery in Cameron under the direction of Grace Funeral Service in Poteau.

“Always remember, I love you all” — Linda.
