Obituary for Linda Eller McDonald
Linda Eller McDonald, age 79, passed away peacefully on Sunday October 31, 2021 at Pulaski Health and Rehab Center surrounded by her family & with her Grandson Kamryn on the phone.
Linda was born in Purlear, NC on May 11, 1942 to the late Gilbert Clayton & Fannie Elizabeth Eller.
Linda retired from Pulaski County School System, where she worked in the cafeteria. After retiring, Linda was a devoted caregiver to her sisters Joan & Betty. Linda was also a caregiver to numerous families in the community and it was her greatest pleasure to provide love, care & support to those who needed her.
Linda was also a dedicated volunteer with hospice and local nursing homes.
Linda’s greatest joy was her Grandson Kamryn who attends college in Miami, OK. He has played basketball since he was a little boy and she never missed a game. She was able to watch him play via live stream from Colorado on October 9th where she cheered & clapped so loud for him & every time he hit a 3 pointer, she would say “That’s my boy”.
Linda was preceded in death by her parents, Gilbert & Fannie Eller, her son, Todd Loy, her sisters, Billie McNeil, Joan Rickey & Betty Hix. Her brothers Doyle, Frank, Bud & JT Eller.
Linda is survived by her sister Dot Eller Sowers, her daughter Angie & her significant other, Kenneth Moore, her Grandsons D’Vante & Kamryn and her Great Grandson Kullen. She is also survived by her favorite niece Dr. Sherry E. Showalter as well as several other nieces and nephews.
A celebration of life will be held at a later date.
