Linda Faulkner

Mrs. Faulkner was born on October 22, 1950 in Wichita Falls, Texas, to her mother, Barbara Short and father, Paul Coates. She graduated from the Wichita Falls High School and attended Midwestern State University. She was active in her community and was a member of Beta Sigma Phi sorority. She married Phillip Faulkner in August of 1978; they were together for 36 years until he passed away in 2014.

Linda was independent and determined. She did things her own way and she was never afraid of being true to herself. She had an incredible work ethic, having retired from the 82d Comptroller Squadron at Sheppard Air Force Base after 31 years of service. She loved our military service members and our country. She was a highly creative person who enjoyed sewing, arts and crafts and decorating. She was outspoken and direct, ensuring that everyone knew where they stood with her. She loved her family and friends fiercely, and she made a lasting impression on everyone who knew her. She was a loving mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and friend.

She is survived by her brother, Mark Short; her daughter, Lana Warren (m. Terry Warren); her sons, Lance Stone (m. Danna Stone) and Mack Faulkner; her granddaughters, Taylor Bradley and Kennedy Faulkner; her grandsons, Brendan Stone, Zachary Stone, Nicholas Stone and Ryder Faulkner; her great-granddaughter, Alayna Stone and her great-grandsons, Dextin McNeese, Michael Stone and Ty Stone.
