Linda Lou Hughes, 86, of Cedar Rapids, passed away peacefully December 28, 2022 at Winslow House Care Center in Marion. Friends and family will be invited for graveside services at Oliphant Cemetery at a later time in the Spring.  Brosh Chapel is caring for Linda and her arrangements.

Linda Lou was born October 8, 1936, in Cedar Rapids, the daughter of Fred and Birdie Oliphant. She worked many different jobs throughout her life including Wayerhouser, Younkers Shoe Department, and HyVee on Oakland Road.  Linda enjoyed life to its fullest and especially enjoyed spending time with her grandchildren and great grandchildren. She spent her life devoted to family.  Linda was an incredible and adventurous woman who rode Harley motorcycles and dirt bikes.  She was a loving mother, sweet grandmother, and devoted great grandmother who will be missed very much. Linda is now with the Lord, with the rest of her family, watching over all of us.

Linda is survived by her son Steve (wife Roxanne); her sister Judy Leidigh, grandchildren Heather Downing (Jared), Deserae (Brandon), Victor, and Austin; great-grandchildren Caden, Maddox, Jaxxon, and Amelia Rose; and many many nieces, nephews, cousins, and loved ones from around the country!

Linda is preceded in death by her mama, daddy, sisters, and brothers.

Memorials may be directed to Steve Hughes to help for any expenses related to Linda and her burial. Thank you for all your prayers and messages!
