Linda Pauline Callahan

Linda Pauline Callahan, passed away Saturday, August 29, 2026, in Paris. She was born on March 8, 1945, in Paris, Arkansas, to the late Lester Crabtree and Bertha Mae (Mahan) Crabtree. She was 81 years old. She was preceded in death by her parents, and the love of her life, Willie, in 2018. They had always planned to be together and Linda will now join him side by side as they had wished.

Linda’s two sons, Jon and Eric, were her purpose and her greatest joy. She was a graduate of County Line High School and devoted her life to loving, supporting, and caring for her family. She found joy in sewing, fishing, hunting, and gardening. Most of all, she enjoyed sharing the things she loved with her family and creating memories together.

Linda was a devoted grandmother to her seven grandchildren: Derrick, Steven, Jonathan, Brittney, Linda, Rhonda, and Felecity. She took an active role in their lives, teaching them valuable life skills and helping guide them as they grew. She was also blessed with many great-grandchildren and several great-great-grandchildren.

Her love, guidance, and the lessons she passed down will continue through the generations of family she leaves behind. She will be deeply missed and forever remembered.
