of Harrison, AR

August 24, 1944 - August 16, 2022

On August 16, 2022, Linda Elizabeth (Rainbolt) Kelley, at the age of 77, transitioned from this life and took the hand of Jesus as He welcomed her home. Linda was born August 24, 1944, to Daymon and Ona Wells Rainbolt in Snowball, Arkansas. She married the love of her life, Allen Kelley, on August 30, 1962. They spent 60 of the best years of their lives together.

She loved being Nana and she proudly held that title. She loved the front porch sitting where the coffee was hot, the conversation was good and the breeze was always blowing. Her grand-dogs even liked visiting her front porch because they went home with a cookie. From morning till dark, you could see her front porch sitting. Linda loved her fish pond. She was an avid reader and loved to play mini golf. If you knew Linda, you know she always wore a smile and you knew love. She was giving and loved her family fiercely, and more than life. She had an unshakeable faith in God and her legacy lives on through her children and the many lives she touched.

Linda leaves to cherish her memory her husband, Allen of the home; three children, James (Holly) Kelley of Harrison, Gina (Mike) Massardo of Poteau, Oklahoma and Beth (Harlan) Miller of Harrison; ten grandchildren, Jeff Massardo, Kelly (Adam) Socia, David (Samantha) Kelley, Tyler (Kayla) Rogers, Carissa (Evan) Stalnaker, Katie (Luke) Allen, Kamri Rogers, Brady (Shyanne) Miller, Caleb Miller, and Brittany Kelley. Five great-grandchildren, Beckham and Liam Socia, Boone and Sammie Jo Kelley, and Remington Allen, and a host of family and friends that loved her.

She was preceded in death by her parents; her brothers, Everett and Bryan Rainbolt, and her nephew, Chris Rainbolt.
