Linda Lee (Wilson) Lerche was born July 14, 1948 to Joseph and Rosie (Settle) Wilson at Buckhorn, Missouri and went to be with the Lord on September 10, 2019 at her home outside Fredericktown. Linda married Freddy Lerche on May 16, 1970 at Big Creek Baptist Church at Marquand.

Linda is preceded in death by her parents, brothers Gene (Helen) Wilson and Charles Wilson, a sister Mary Lou Craig and sister-in-law Mildred Rogers, brother-in-law Bob and Darlene Lerche. Two (2) infant sisters and one (1) infant brother.

Linda is survived by her husband Freddy Lerche of Fredericktown and daughter Melinda & Dale Griffin and grandson Wyatt Griffin of Bonne Terre. Linda is survived by Three (3) sisters Sue & Bob Pogue, Brenda & Harold Myers both of Fredericktown and Delores & Ronald Weekly of Marquand, brother and sister in law Otto & Grace Lerche of Farmington, along with numerous nieces, nephews, cousins and many special friends and neighbors.

Linda was a member of Oak Grove United Baptist Church and truly served the Lord with gladness, always volunteering her time and energy to help her family, friends, and neighbors. Linda was a farmers wife and could always drop what she doing to help Freddy on the farm but her pleasure was her garden in the spring/summer and sharing her bounty with others along with quilting during the fall/winter.

Linda will be greatly missed by all who knew her. Our loss is heaven's gain, until we meet again.
