Linda Ann Strickland, age 66, of Lowell, AR, passed away Sunday, December 29, 2019, at her home.
She was born December 1, 1953, in New Orleans, LA, a daughter of the late Charles Edward Schlosser and May Cecelia Smith Schlosser.
Also preceding her in death were brothers Charles Edward Schlosser, II, Wayne James Schlosser, James Anthony Schlosser, Roy Ernest Schlosser and a sister Diane Jean Giammanchere.
Linda considered one of her greatest life accomplishments as becoming a more full-fledged Christian in 1973. This gave her the courage to go back and finish high school and to go on to college. She chose jobs that allowed her to help people and make a difference in their lives. As a teenager, she wanted to be a nun. When finishing college, she considered becoming a missionary, but she decided she could make just as much of a difference in any position, thus spending her working life selflessly helping others. As a Child Protective Services Social Worker in Indiana (later Virginia, Arkansas and Oklahoma), she made sure the healthy lives of children were of the utmost importance, often at the risk of her own safety. It was during this work she met Bob and they were married in 1994 in Virginia. After traveling the country and a brief assignment in the United Kingdom with the U.S. Air Force, they finally settled in Northwest Arkansas to focus on raising their children. In Arkansas she continued to focus on helping others. She worked in the Job Training Partnership Act helping displaced workers find employment or educational opportunities. Linda spent her final working years as a para-professional at Lowell Elementary. In addition to her passion for helping others, she had a soft spot for animals, and spent much of her time volunteering at the Lowell Animal Shelter. She considered her greatest treasure in life to be her family. She had the fiercest love and protective instincts for her children. Her message to all of us – “Love your life, every minute of it.”
Survivors include her husband Bob Strickland; four sons Robert Dewayne Strickland, II, of Peru, IN, Joshua David Pointer of Rogers, AR, Jesse Pointer of Rogers, AR, Jordan Andrew Strickland of Fayetteville, AR; one daughter Kelli Anne Welihindha of San Carlos, CA; one brother Henry William Schlosser of Chalmette, LA; one sister Judy Elizabeth McLendon of Chalmette, LA, and seven grandchildren.
Memorial service will be 1:00 p.m. Friday, January 3, at Moore’s Funeral Chapel in Fayetteville, AR. Visitation is from 12:00 (noon) until service time Friday at Moore’s. Inurament will follow at Fayetteville National Cemetery.
