Linda Jo Brockett Inghram, 66, of Burlington, peacefully passed in her sleep on Sept. 24, 2023, after a long fight with cancer.
She was the daughter of Charles William Sr. and Alvera Eileen Reed Brockett. She was born in Keokuk on Sept. 13, 1957.
Linda was a homemaker. She was a strong, independent, woman who was not afraid to tell you what was on her mind. She was a free spirited, loving and caring person to all her family and friends and would do what she could for them. Linda loved to spend time with her grandchildren at the local pools and always loved to lay in the sun and get a tan and try to get darker than her nephew.
To her nieces and nephews, she was the ornery one and they never knew what would be next and they truly loved her to the very end. She cherished her daughters and grandchildren every minute of her life and they truly will be lost without her.
If you knew Linda well, you knew she would always flash the peace sign at you and when it was time to leave it was never goodbye but see you later. So, she is saying “See you all later”.
Linda is survived by her mother, Alvera Brockett; two daughters, Heather (Shawn McChesney) Brockett and Desirae Swedenburg; grandchildren, Chanse McChesney, Caiden Swedenburg and Rayna Swedenburg; great-granddaughter, Gioia McChesney; siblings, Chuck (Sue) Brockett, Carolyn Brockett Warth and Harold “Buck” (Lori) Brockett all of Burlington and Margie (Jim) Bennoff of Rockford, Illinois and sister-in-law Denise Brockett of Roscoe, Ill. and many nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles and cousins.
Linda is preceded in death by her father, Charles Brockett Sr., three brothers, Loren Brockett, Martin Brockett and Danny Brockett and paternal and maternal grandparents, great grandparents and aunts, uncles and cousins.
Per Linda’s request, cremation has been entrusted to the care of Lunning Chapel. There will be no services.
