Obituary
Linda Jean (Helton) Brown, 64, a
lifelong resident of Lincoln, passed away peacefully
at her home surrounded by her family on September 5,
2024.
Visitation will be from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Monday,
September 9, 2024, at Holland Barry & Bennett
Funeral Home. Funeral services will be at 11 a.m.
Tuesday, September 10, 2024, also at the funeral
home with Pastor Michael Mallick officiating. Burial
will follow in Zion Cemetery, Lincoln. Casual dress
requested, wear Chicago Bears gear if you have some.
Linda was born November 5, 1959, in Lincoln, IL.,
the daughter of Loren Helton and Patricia
(Robertson). She was a cook for District 27 for more
than 20 years. She loved the Chicago Bears, fishing,
camping, tubing down the creek, and playing bingo,
and she knew how to party. She devoted her whole
life to caring and providing for her kids and
grandkids. Her wish was always that her kids and
grandkids find peace within themselves and with each
other. Linda always made time and room for those
that needed help, but she wasn’t afraid to tell you
when you were messing up either.
