Linda J.Oaks

Linda J. Bennett Warren Oaks

Linda Jean Bennett Warren Oaks passed away peacefully in her home June 23, 2014. She was a loving and kind mother, sister, wife and friend to many who will deeply mourn the loss of her beautiful soul. She will foremost be remembered for the unyielding, unconditional love she offered freely to all.

Lin was born December 26th, 1941 in Greenville, Texas. She attended Greenville High School and studied literature at University of Texas, Dallas. She lived life with vigor and a deep reverence for God and his creation. Many sought Lin's company for her ability to listen, empathize and extend her understanding attention to everyone's joys, sorrows, and issues without judgment. Lin cherished literature, and she herself delved elegantly into the art form in numerous ways.

She is survived by her husband BR Duncan; her son, Jeff Warren and daughter-in-law Dianne, including three grandchildren, Savannah, William and Neal; and her daughter Jennifer Warren Kubik with granddaughter Hannah Rose. Lin also leaves behind her sister Sherry Mulkey, brother Don Bennett, their families, and long-time friends who have been significant in her life and experiences. The family is incredibly grateful to Vitas hospice and their Greenville team under nurse Jennifer Bradshaw.

A viewing for family and friends will be held at the Coker Mathews Funeral Home on 6-8 pm Tuesday night, followed by a graveside service on Wednesday at 10 am at Memoryland Memorial Park with Rev. Gene Wisdom and Rev. Paul Gould officiating.  In lieu of flowers, please send donations to: American Lung Association, www.lung.org/donate or Lung Cancer Research Foundation at www.lungcancerresearchfoundation.org

Pallbearers will be Glenn Kubik, David Mulkey, Cole Mulkey, Neal Warren ,Mark Bennett and William Warren
