of Peel, AR

April 19, 1939 - October 21, 2016

Linda Lou Crabtree, 77, left this world from her home in Peel, Arkansas to join her Lord and Savior Jesus on October 21, 2016.

She was born Linda Lou Merkel in Queens Borough, New York to Ruth Ione Conkel and Henry Merkel on April 19, 1939. She was raised in Polk City, Iowa by Ruth and Irvin Conkel who she lovingly referred to as Daddy Irv, the only daddy she ever knew. It was there she met the love of her life, Gene.

Best known in her community for her steadfast faith and love of the Lord, her ministry in this life was rooted in the scripture Titus 2:4-5 which motivated her to mentor many young women she thought of as her extended daughters over the years, showing these young ladies the way to a better walk in Christ.

She is survived by her husband, Ronald Gene Crabtree of the home;

her daughter, Sheila Rae Crabtree of Tucson, Arizona;

her son Ronald Gene Crabtree, II, and his wife, Brittany, of Peel, Arkansas;

a sister, Vanessa Luellen of Claremore, Oklahoma;

three brothers: Robert Merkel and his wife, Kathryn of Madrid, Iowa;
Denis Burke and his wife, Carolyn, of Runnels, Iowa;
William Conkel and his wife, Connie, of Bartlett, Tennessee;

six grandchildren;

and numerous nieces and nephews;

and two honorary daughters: Debbie Wallace and her husband, Donny, of Peel, Arkansas;
and Jill Risley and her husband, Stanley, of Whiteville, Arkansas.

She was preceded in death by one son, Walter Marshall Crabtree of Peel, Arkansas;
and two brothers: Donald Conkel of Claremore, and Irvin Conkel.

Any extra donations over and above funeral expenses will be given in memoriam to Peel Full Gospel Christian Academy.

A memorial service will be 1:oo pm Saturday, October 29, 2016 at Peel Full Gospel Church in Peel, Arkansas.
