of Benton, AR
May 4, 1949 - February 12, 2021
Linda Faye McCown, 71, of Benton, passed away peacefully with her family by her side on February 12, 2021. She was born in Glasgow, Kentucky to Gordon and Mildred Pursly Chenault.
Linda was a mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and friend to many. She was a surgical nurse for over 20 years and poured her heart, soul, and all the knowledge she possessed, into caring for her patients. You could often find her in her flower gardens, traveling with her husband or finding another piece of family history through her ancestry study. She loved the Lord and loved people. Her smile and welcoming nature made her easy to love and easy to call her a friend.
She was preceded in death by her father, Gordon Chenault, husband, John McCown Sr., sister, Lena Sadler, and a brother, David Chenault.
Linda is survived by her son, John McCown and wife, Angela; daughters, Susan McCown, and Kimberly Deutscher and husband, David; grandchildren, Daren McCown, Dillion McCown and wife, Candace, Danyelle Stowe and husband, Dakota, Dalayna Sturm and husband, Justin, Blake Lockert, Talon Johnson, Kaley Rickard, Miranda Johnson, and Riley Allen; ten great-grandchildren, her mother, Mildred Chenault; brother, Danny Chenault, and many other extended family members and friends.

I am so sorry for your loss. Linda was such a sweet lady. Prayers ðŸ™. Love,Rhonda
Linda is one of my best friends. I met her nearly 30 years ago when we both worked together, and we became close. We celebrated the birth of her first grandson, and those to follow, and then the great grand children. We celebrated her 50th birthday in the River Market, her carrying balloons. She wasn't cursed with Parkinson's disease at that time, and had no limitations. How long ago that seems, and how close to my heart those times remain. We spent a few days fishing through the years. We really enjoyed that quiet time together. I will miss my dear friend, but I am imagining her free from pain and difficulty, in a healthy youthful spirit, and in the company of her dearly loved and missed husband, John. I really love Linda and am so blessed to have her as my friend, and I feel extremely blessed to have seen and held a conversation with her in her final days.
I am so sorry for her family's loss. God bless.
