Linda Ann Jones

Linda Ann Jones, 79, Moore, Oklahoma, peacefully left this life on April 30, 2025. Born in Hugo, Oklahoma on January 25, 1946, Linda lived a life filled with love, laughter, and dedication to those around her.

For 22 years, Linda served her community as a special needs school bus driver for Moore Public Schools. Her patience, kindness, and steady presence made a lasting impact on the children and families she cared for.

A proud supporter of OSU sports—especially football—Linda rarely missed a game. She had a deep love for the rodeo and especially enjoyed watching PBR events, often traveling to Las Vegas to catch the action in person. She also had a unique talent for napping through golf broadcasts yet somehow knowing all the players and their stories.

Family meant everything to Linda. She loved traveling to spend time with her grandchildren and cherished every moment with them. Her warmth, sense of humor, and down-to-earth spirit will be missed by all who knew her.

Linda is survived by her daughter, Alicia Rector, and son-in-law, Jay; beloved grandkids, Sherry Kellogg, Monty Lenington Jr., Winston Lenington, Jaxon Rector, Dallas Rector; great-grandkids, Stormy Ramirez, Dakota Davis, Lacey Lenington, Crawford Lenington; great-great-grandkids, Noah Davis, Lyla Ramirez; siblings, Rocky and Carol Pratt, Ricky and Debbie Pratt, Vickie Wyman. She is also survived by a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, and other family members. She was preceded in death by her daughter, Paula Waltermire; and her parents, Mildred & Charles.
