of Bigelow, AR

August 5, 1955 - March 16, 2025

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Linda Kaye Boozer-Branscum, age 69, on March 16, 2025. Linda was a beloved mother, daughter, nana, sister and friend whose presence will be deeply missed by all who knew her.

Born on August 5, 1955 in Hughes, AR, Linda spent her retirement years in Toad Suck, AR. She was an active member of the First Free Will Baptist Church in Conway, AR, where she faithfully served as the church Treasurer. Linda worked as a Human Resource Manager at Leather Brothers in Conway for 16 years, where she was known for her dedication, professionalism and caring nature.

Beyond her career, she was a rock to her family, the glue that held them together. As the unofficial family social chair, Linda took great joy in planning family get-togethers and vacations, ensuring that the moments they shared were filled with love, laughter and cherished memories. Linda was the boss of the family, being the first born she took after her Daddy, being determined and hardheaded - which she passed down the long line of family members. She has taught all of the family how to be strong and would hold on to them when they couldn't be. She was the biggest supporter and backbone of the family, stood up strong for what she believed in and loved fiercely. I truly believe she would have gone against anything or anyone when it came down to protecting her family, blood or chosen family.

She enjoyed a variety of hobbies, including reading, sewing and spending time with her family and had a fondness for watching reality TV shows. In her younger days Linda loved being in the driver's seat of race cars alongside her brother and daddy. She also enjoyed going on family camping trips where her impeccable story telling came to life, from scary stories to the Edith Ann voices, which she made up as she went (she was always able to scare the kids real good). Linda's nurturing spirit and warmth left an indelible mark on everyone she encountered and her legacy will live on through the many lives she touched. Linda is survived by her two beloved children, Shari Lewis and James Robert Branscum Jr.; her grandchildren, Tanner Blassingame and Lexi Blassingame; her great-grandchildren, Cohen McNeil and Arlie Claire Blassingame; her mother, Ellen Boozer; her sisters, Rhonda (Allen) Smith, Pam (Lindsey) Bates, Laura (Mark) Atwell and Robin (Wally) Akers; as well as a host of extended family and friends. She was preceded in death by her father, Bobby Gene Boozer Sr. and her brother, Bobby Gene Boozer Jr.

To honor Linda's wishes she will be cremated. A service to celebrate her life will be held at the First Free Will Baptist Church of Conway, 29 Beaverfork Road, Conway, AR on March 21st at 1pm.

All are welcome to join in honoring her memory and sharing in the love she gave so freely.
