Linda Darlene Lemasters, age 77, of Peculiar, Missouri, passed away peacefully on October 17, 2025, at Menorah Medical Center, surrounded by her loving family.

Born on August 18, 1948, in Kansas City, Missouri, Linda lived a life marked by kindness, resilience, and deep devotion to those she loved. She was the beloved wife of George W. Lemasters Jr., and together they shared a lifetime of love and adventure.

Linda is survived by her children: Linda D. Cox and her spouse Stoney, George W. Lemasters III and his spouse Jennifer, and Marion D. Gilbert and her companion Michael. She was preceded in death by her daughter Billie Ritchey and is lovingly remembered by her son-in-law Keith Ritchey.

She leaves behind her brother Victor Bush, her sister Jodi Dyer, and her sister-in-law Pamela Gieger, along with many other extended family members and dear friends.

She was a proud and loving grandmother to: Joshua and Heather Winchel, Krystal Winchel and Gary, Ashley Booton, Jordan and Jennifer Booton, Shea and Ellie Cox, Ashley and Larry Marquette, Ryan Catron and Jordan , Christopher and Megan Brillhart, Jacob Lemasters, Justin Lemasters and Meghan, Brian Graham, Shelby Jacobs, Shawn and Ashley Blackburn, Shane and Kinzi Blackburn, Brenna Blackburn and Austin , Sara Blackburn, and Mathew Gilbert.

Linda was also blessed with 38 great-grandchildren, each of whom brought her immense joy and pride.

An avid quilter and passionate crafter, Linda found joy in creating handmade gifts for everyone she met. Her creativity and generosity were woven into every stitch, leaving behind treasured keepsakes and warm memories for countless friends and family members.

She was an adventurer at heart. She preferred being a "Passenger Princess" riding on the motorcycle behind the love of her life. Together they rode countless miles simply enjoying the countryside and the freedom to go where they wanted and when they wanted. Her most enjoyable rides were with her family.

Linda’s warmth and spirit touched everyone she met, and her legacy will continue to live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved her.

A celebration of life will be held on November 1, 2025, at 3:00 p.m. at her home for family and friends.
