Linda Kay Keeling

Linda Kay Keeling, a loving mother, grandmother, sister, and devoted woman of faith, passed away peacefully on July 17, 2025, at the age of 74.

Born on March 21, 1951, Linda lived a life rooted in faith, family, and service. She was a proud and devoted mother to her four children: Bryan Tillery (Janie), Robert Tillery, Stacie Tillery, and Taylor Keeling. Her legacy lives on through her cherished grandchildren-Heather Wise, Hillary Baird (Jeremy), Trevor Stephens, Kody Doughty, Justin Tillery, and Olivia Stanley-and great-grandchildren: Jacob Stephens, Drake Sangster, Nikolas Baird, Savannah Baird, Layla Stephens, Avery Baird, and Aubree Baird. Each of them brought her immense joy and pride.

She is also survived by her loving sisters: Vicki Stanbery, Debbie Stanbery, and Brenda Sides. She was preceded in death by her parents, Joyce and Adrian Carroll; her brother, James; her husband, Richard Keeling; and her son, Greg Keeling.

Linda had a lifelong passion for sewing and crafting-pastimes that reflected her creativity, warmth, and giving spirit. She was deeply engaged in her church and lived each day guided by a steadfast and unwavering faith. Family was the heart of her world, and some of her most treasured moments were spent during holiday gatherings or simple evenings surrounded by those she loved.

In her quiet time, Linda enjoyed watching her favorite shows-America's Got Talent, American Idol, and The Voice-cheering on her favorite contestants with delight.

Linda's strength, grace, and kindheartedness left a lasting impression on all who knew her. Her presence will be deeply missed and fondly remembered.

A celebration of Linda's life will be held at 2 pm Saturday, August 9, 2025 at Lucas Funeral Home Grapevine.
