Linda Sue Brucks

Our beloved Linda Sue Brucks of Little Rock, Arkansas passed away February 10, 2022, to be reunited with the love of her life, Edward. She was born in Hope, Arkansas on October 6th, 1940. She graduated from Central High School in 1958.

For 57 years, Linda was an active member of Saint Theresa’s Catholic Church. She retired from Centers for Youth and Family after working in the billing department for over 25 years. She had a passion for helping others and she and Ed opened their home to multiple foreign exchange students and loved them all as their own, even visiting all of them in their own countries.

Linda loved her family and found great joy watching her boys play sports and cheering on her grandchildren’s activities. She carried on many traditions, like baking Christmas cookies with her grandchildren each year using an old family recipe and hosting family gatherings for holidays and birthdays. Linda traveled the world with her husband and her friends, always anxious to see new sights and go on adventures.

Linda is preceded in death by her husband of 59 years, Edward Brucks, her father and stepmother Elvis and Margaret McNatt, her mother and stepfather Gladys and Robert DeArmond, and her brother David DeArmond.
