Linda Kelsey (62) Wise Passes Away

Linda was born in Rossville, Kansas to Scott and Faye Kelsey on September 18, 1944. She graduated from The University of Kansas in 1966 and loved her Jayhawks. She was a wonderful stay at home mom who provided unconditional love and guidance. Being a mother was her most rewarding job. After her children were grown she worked a number of years at St. Anthony’s Bone and Joint Hospital in Oklahoma City and later as a hospice nurse where she touched lots of families. She was a friend to many and loved by all. There has never been a more amazing mother, grandmother, daughter, sister and friend.

Linda’s nurturing and compassionate nature called her to volunteer at Project 66 Food Pantry in Edmond and was an active member of Crossings Community Church in Oklahoma City.

Linda is survived by her son, Jereme and Jennifer Wise of Austin, Texas. Daughter, Heidi and Brian Reeder of Edmond, Oklahoma. Brother Doug and Dar Kelsey of Mesa, Arizona. Grandchildren – Keelie Brei of Austin, Texas - Ella Jane and Grady James of Edmond, Oklahoma.
