Linda Julian

Linda Rea Julian, 65 of Blytheville, passed away Monday, May 23, 2016 at her home.

Three names, three different walks of life.

As Brown, she was blessed to be a twin of Rinda. As twins go, they were the same but so very much different. Linda was always the loud one that outshined the rest, and always wanted to get her way.

As Crum, she married Gary. She said that she knew from Elementary school who she would marry, but they never formally went together. She has a son, Bryce, who was her pride and joy and heartache. He married Stacey and she gave birth to Deryk, who was the only child that two women gave birth to. Thus becoming her overwhelming reason to live. Stacey and Deryk are still hers to hold.

As Julian, she met and married Mike and made him the happiest person in the world. Their love grew until they were both totally consumed with each other. She loved her yard, flowers, plants, and pool.

Her best friend, Amy Bailey described her best. "You either loved Linda upon first meeting or you hated her. There was no in between." Linda was loved by many, liked by a few, and worshipped by one.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Herbert and Jewel Brown; and sister, Rinda Strawbridge.

Linda leaves her husband, Mike Julian;

Children, Bryce Crum of Blytheville, Stacey Defries (John) of Paragould, Justin Julian (Chanda) of Jonesboro, and Lane Julian of Paragould;

Grandchildren, Deryk Crum, Justice Crum, Xander Henson, Isabella Wood, Landon Wood, Kanon Julian, Kelsea Johnson, Kaleigh Starnes, and Kassidy McKinzie;

Great-grandchildren, Jaxon Starnes and August McKenzie.
