Linda Williams

Linda Sue Williams, 59, of Jackson, passed away Friday, February 24, 2017, at Saint Francis Medical Center in Cape Girardeau.

She was born September 20, 1957, in St. Louis, to Edward and Verneal Ruttler Dunsworth.

Linda and George, the true love of her life, spent many wonderful years together. They enjoyed traveling, camping and fishing and just being together. Linda was generous, fun loving, and kind spirited. She never knew a stranger and would give you the shirt off her back. She lovingly shared her home with her children and their friends, who all called her "mom". She cherished her family and enjoyed making loving memories while spending time with them.

Loving survivors include her husband, George Pentecost of Jackson; four daughters, Jennifer (Kevin) Rice of Hillsboro, Missouri, Laurie (Willie) Wyninegar and Pamela (Allen) Hamor of St. Louis, Becky (Jeremy) King of Jackson; eight grandchildren; 4 great-grandchildren; a brother, Edward Dunsworth of St. Louis; and nieces and nephews too numerous to count.

She was preceded in death by her parents, and four siblings, Jean, Nancy, Daniel, and James.

A memorial service will be held at 2 p.m., Thursday, March 2, 2017, at McCombs Funeral Home and Cremation Center in Jackson, with the Rev. Tim Lee officiating.

Memorials may take the form of contributions to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
