Ellen Kay Turner Linkous

Ellen was preceded in death by her husband of 57 years, Mike Robert Linkous Jr.
Ellen was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, sister and friend. She was known by many as a friendly face in the front office of several local doctors and dentist offices. Before retiring she was a clerk for the Dublin library. She always had a love for books and reading. This position brought her much joy. She will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her.
Ellen is survived by her daughters, Sharon Kay Johnston and Jennifer Ann Linkous Price; her grandchildren Tres Taylor, Mason Taylor, Madeline Price, Jonathan Price, Matthew Johnston, Avery Johnston and Noah Johnston; siblings Randy Turner and Jay Turner.

Following the service family and friends are invited to gather at Claytor Lake State Park Shelter 3.
The family would like to thank Intrepid Hospice for the care shown to our mother. We were blessed to have you by our side to encourage and guide us over the last year and a half.
A special thank you to her friends at the Pulaski and Dublin libraries for always making her feel special.

A great woman, wife , mother , Grandmother and sister. I was raised up with Mike and was in the service with him . I will surely miss them both dearly. I’ll miss the veterans cemetery tomorrow as I’ll be in the hospital. May God bless the family in your loss.

Ellen was really a blessing to whomever she came in contact with. She was definitely the best mother in law that I could ever imagine. She will be missed by many. I feel without a doubt that she is with Mike now and has no worries! Please keep Sharon and the rest of the family in your prayers as we lay her to rest on Thursday.
