Linda Louise Pettit, 61, of Williams, died on May 10, 2007, after a brief but courageous fight with cancer. She was born on Aug. 23,1945, to Victor and Irene Hughes in Kokomo, Ind.
She spent her childhood in San Francisco, Calif., before moving to Williams in 1958. Mrs. Pettit worked beside her husband as a carpenter, but her greatest pride, joy and accomplishment in life was her family. She was a caring person and had a gorgeous smile.
When her children were younger, Mrs. Pettit was involved in the PTA, was a den mother for Boy Scouts and donated countless hours to the Little League, Babe Ruth and Mickey Mantle baseball leagues. She acted as the family's doctor and was like a mother to many of her children's friends. She loved having yard sales, going to auctions, gardening, feeding 'her' birds, hunting, and fishing, and was a very talented seamstress, artist and photographer who enjoyed creating memory scrapbooks of her family. She strongly supported the Williams Fire Department and her favorite passion was volunteering her time to keep the Williams Cemetery beautiful for over 40 years.
Mrs. Pettit is survived by her loving husband Jim Pettit; children Tim and Debbie Pettit, Anita and Ron Stilwell, Joanna Pettit, and Jeff and Ellen Pettit; 13 grandchildren; four great-grandchildren; siblings Sonny and Nancy Hughes of Paulden, Robert and Jeannine Findley of Florida, Vicki and Don Causey of Florida, and beloved sis' Jo Lawlor of Phoenix.
She was preceded in death by her infant sister Norma Lee Hughes; infant son John Lyndon Pettit; her parents; and her sister Phyllis Morales.
Viewing will be Monday, May 14, from 6 to 8 p.m., at Norvel Owens Mortuary, 914 E. Route 66, Flagstaff. A memorial service will be Tuesday, May 15, at 1 p.m., at the First Southern Baptist Church, 629 W. Grant Ave, Williams, followed by a graveside service. Pastor Dave Wallace presiding. Reception immediately following at the American Legion Hut, 425 W. Grant, Williams.
In lieu of flowers the family suggests that you carry on her tradition of keeping the Williams Cemetery beautiful by cleaning the graves of your friends, family, and those in need of care each Memorial Day.
