Linda Melton

Linda was born in South Bend, Indiana on March 10, 1949 to Roger Howard Clarbour and Perle Ruth (Foster) Clarbour. She grew up and graduated from high school in 1967 in Deer Field, Illinois. She enjoyed riding horses when she was in Illinois. Many of Linda’s family members began moving to Oklahoma, and she followed suit, making the move in her early twenties to be with them.

Linda settled in Norman, Oklahoma, where she met the love of her life and husband of 42 years, Stan Melton. The two were married on April 15, 1978.

Linda worked at Norman Regional Hospital for nearly a decade doing various different jobs such as switchboard operator and pharmacy clerk. She enjoyed her work with the hospital and always spoke fondly of it.

Linda and Stan had two children together: Bret Melton, and Melisa (Melton) Holmes. Eventually she retired from her position at the hospital in order to stay home with her children.

Linda was a very soft-spoken, sweet, and caring woman. She doted on her family. She was always finding good deals and giving gifts to her grandchildren. Linda enjoyed collecting rose rocks, making candles, and taking trips to the lake.

Linda is preceded in death by her parents, her sister Janice and her husband Dan Fitzgivens, her brother-in-law Randy Noe, her sister-in-law Jean Clarbour and her Uncle Ralph.

Left to cherish her precious memory are her husband Stan of Norman, her son Bret and his wife Jordi Melton of Denver, her daughter Melisa and her husband Wes Holmes of Norman, her grandchildren Connor Melton of Denver and Everly Holmes of Norman, her brothers Greg Clarbour of Norman and Scott and his wife Stacy of Norman, her sister Pam Noe of Norman, her Aunt Nancy and Uncle Bert of Illinois, her Aunt Mary of Illinois as well as many beloved nieces, nephews, and cousins.

A memorial service will be held in her honor on Sunday, June 28, 2020 at 2:00PM at Primrose Funeral Service.
