Linda Kay Fore-Stam

Linda Fore – Stam 77, passed away peacefully at the springs of Searcy, rehabilitation and Arkansas on December 28th, 2023.

She was born on January 31, 1946 in Cayucos California. She was the daughter of Patrick E, Fore and Margaret M Burgess. She wasn’t only child.

She had two biological daughters, Jonell Marie Cullins who passed in December 2019, and Trina Rachelle Singletary who resides in Colorado. She is survived by her granddaughter, Megan Marie and great grandson Steven Leroy of Arkansas, and her great grandsons from Colorado Jakob Leon, Zarin Patrick, Logan Alexander.

Linda, or “mom” like most called her had a lust for life. She was always the center of attention and loved to laugh. Her laugh could light up a room. She had a way of making her unbiological kids feel just like her own.

She loved to cook. Everyone that knew her loved her cooking. She made the best fried chicken, mashed potatoes, gravy & homemade biscuits that you could not refuse. She enjoyed baking crocheting and making blankets. There’s a good chance if she loved you then you probably have one of her blankets.

Her heart was big and her budget small but that never kept her from spreading the wealth and her love.

She was loved by many that called her mom. It fed her soul to be needed and to spread love through cooking and encouraging words. She always thought of the underdog.

She called California her home, although she lived in Colorado, Idaho, Washington, Oklahoma, and then most recently, Arkansas. She always attracted the best neighbors that became lifelong friends. She will be greatly missed as she touched many many lives in this lifetime.

My mother had a servants heart.
