Linda Keeter Obituary

In Loving Memory of Linda Kay Keeter

Linda Kay Keeter, lovingly known as Kay, passed away peacefully on Monday, July 28, 2025, at Hospice of the Ozarks in Mountain Home, Arkansas. She was surrounded by the people she cherished most, her beloved family, just as she had always surrounded them with love, grace and unwavering care.

Kay is survived by her devoted husband of 40 years, Rickey Keeter, who stood faithfully by her side through life's every season together, they built a life rooted in love, laughter and faith. She was a proud and loving mother to her daughters, Stephanie Mallett and Andee Ingram; and a mother-in-law who treated her two sons-in-law, Calvin Mallett and Justin Ingram, like her own. She is also survived by her sister, Billie Heenan.

Her love only grew as her family did. She leaves behind a legacy in her grandchildren, Cody (Lacey) Casteel, Stockton (Lexi) Mallett, Landon Ingram, Allyn Ingram, Trey (Jess) Mallett, Justin (Rachel) Holt and Erica (Blake) Towell; and her great-grandchildren, Kayden, RayLynn, Brixen, Anna, Lilly, Kinley, Emersyn and Brady Calvin.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Arvie and Willma Kelley; and her sister Genice Jefferson.

Kay was a devoted member of Cedar Grove Church where she and Rickey attended faithfully. She spent 50 years working as a beautician, but her work extended far beyond the chair. Kay had a rare gift for making people feel seen, valued and beautiful, inside and out. To know Kay was to be truly blessed, and to be loved by her was one of life's greatest gifts.

A visitation to celebrate and honor Kay's life will be held from 5-7 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 8, 2025, at Roller-Burns Funeral Home in Yellville, Arkansas. In keeping with her humble spirit, a private graveside service will be held in lieu of a traditional funeral.

The family would like to thank the Hospice of the Ozarks and the many nurses and medical staff at Highlands Oncology, and Baxter Health that cared for, comforted and loved her during her many years of battling cancer.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Georges Creek Cemetery Fund to help with care and maintenance of the cemetery: Georges Creek Cemetery ? Nancy Bergeron, 261 Marion County 4005, Yellville, AR 72687-9352
