Linda L. Levins

Linda Lee Levins (née Russell), of Saint Charles, MO, passed away peacefully on Thursday, June 19, 2025, at the age of 76. She is survived by her beloved husband, William Levins; her children, Kelly (Hamid) Moore, Terri (Tim) Rhine, Billy (Katie) Levins, and Timmy (Stephanie) Levins; and her cherished grandchildren, Emma and Aubrey Rhine, and Hailey and Brady Levins. Linda was also a treasured aunt, great-aunt, godmother, cousin, and friend to many.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Bert and Lela Russell, and her brother, Ken Russell.

Linda was a devoted wife, loving mother, and proud "Memaw" who found her greatest joy in caring for her family. She began her career as an elementary school teacher before choosing to stay home and raise her children, a role she embraced wholeheartedly. A woman of strong faith, Linda taught Sunday School and served as a deacon at John Knox Presbyterian Church. She enjoyed scrapbooking, cheering on the St. Louis Cardinals, and creating lasting memories during family trips to Walt Disney World. Linda’s warmth, kindness, and unwavering love for her family will be deeply missed by all who knew her.

Memorials may be made in Linda's name to The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.

**In Loving Memory of Linda Levins**

Dear Lord, we gather in this hour,

To honor Linda, a precious flower.

A teacher's heart, so warm and bright,

In her love, we found our light.

On June the nineteenth, we weep and pray,

For a soul taken from us today.

A Presbyterian spirit, steadfast and true,

Her faith in You, forever will renew.

With scrapbooks filled with memories dear,

Her laughter echoes, though she’s not here.

Two daughters, teachers, carry her grace,

In every lesson, they find her trace.

Kelly, the principal, leading with pride,

In her school, Linda's love will abide.

Two sons in retail, though hearts are sore,

Together they grieve, yet cherish her more.

Bill, her husband, for over fifty years,

In his heart, she’s cherished through all his tears.

An attorney strong, now feels the weight,

Of love and memories, mingled with fate.

Four grandchildren, Emma, Aubrey, Hailey, and Brady,

In their eyes, her sparkle remains, never shady.

As they gather close, in sorrow and grace,

They feel her presence, in every embrace.

We thank You, Lord, for Linda’s life,

For the joy she brought, in joy and strife.

Help us to heal, to find our way,

With her love guiding us, day by day.

As we mourn her loss, we trust in Your plan,

Knowing that life continues, beyond what we understand.

For in Your word, we find hope's light,

“Jesus said, ‘I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies.’” (John 11:25)

Amen.
