Linda M. Thompson was born August 3, 1952, to Elza and Bessie Tunnell in Iron Post, Oklahoma.  She departed this life December 23, 2021, at the age of 69 years.

Linda grew up attending Bristow Public Schools.  She had a laugh that was contagious.  Laughter often filled her home as she visited with friends and family.    Time around the house was not idle as she was busy tending her garden and canning.  Linda was always ready to prepare a meal to bring the family together.  She loved her family deeply and showed that love at every opportunity.  Linda loved her Lord and savior and listened to the gospel every chance she got.

She is survived by her partner in life, Pete Thompson, of the Bristow home; one son, Bobby Crittenden; two daughters, Angela Crittenden and Diana Patrick; one sister, Patty Mathews, three brothers Robert Tunnell, Jerry Tunnell and Ricky Tunnell; ten grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.  She was preceded in death by her parents, son, Johnny James Crittenden; Grandson, Jakota Crittenden and one sister Bessie Sue Tanksly
