Linda Denise Mitchell, 63, Belle passed away Sunday, Nov. 21, 2021 at the Capital Region Medical Center in Jefferson City.
She was born Nov. 9, 1958, a daughter to the late Gene and Dorthaleen (Ridenhour) Noblett in Belle.
She was united in marriage to James “Pudd” Mitchell, June 11, 1977, in Belle. Pudd survives of their home in Belle.
Linda was a lifelong area resident and a 1977 graduate of Belle High School. She was employed as a Family Advocate at Head Start in Belle before retiring after 23 years.
Linda enjoyed being at home. In all of her spare time, you could find her in the kitchen, which was never disappointing, playing Skip-Bo and Trouble with the grandkids, or watching her soaps. She never missed her “Young and the Restless.” To pass the time, she enjoyed shopping online and scrolling through Facebook. Linda’s greatest joy came from time spent with her family. Her grandchildren were the light of her life, and she will be missed greatly by them and the rest of her family.
She was preceded in death by her parents Gene and Dorthaleen; and her fur baby Rylee.
She is survived by husband James of 44 years; daughters Jessi Arnold and husband Jeff of Owensville, and Judy Ridenhour of Belle; grandchildren Madi Hinson and husband Tanner, Maycie Weller, and Karsen Ridenhour; sister Jeanette Struemph of Belle; brothers Denny Noblett and wife April of Belle, and Kenny Noblett and wife Jo of Jefferson City; and dogs Max and Marley; as well as many nieces, nephews, extended family members and friends.
A Celebration of Life service will be held Saturday, Dec. 11, beginning at 1:00 p.m. at the First Baptist Church, Belle. The doors will open at noon with a meal following the service.
Expressions of sympathy may be made to P.E.P. (Protect Every Pet) in Bland.
Arrangements entrusted to Sassmann’s Chapel, Belle.
