IN LOVING MEMORY

Linda Nell (Chambless) Tunks

Apr 05 1943 - Aug 28 2015

Linda Nell (Chambless) Tunks age, 72, of The Colony, Texas passed away on August 28, 2015 in Carrollton, Texas. She was born on April 5, 1943 in Amarillo, Texas to Ireta (Jones) and George Britain Chambless. On September 12, 1964, Linda married Thomas Nelson Tunks in Amarillo, Texas. Linda worked in the healthcare industry as a Nurse.

She was a loving wife, mother and grandmother. She was a dedicated and hard working woman during her career years, putting in long hours as a nurse while striving to find the balance to take wonderful care of her family. She made dinners, kissed her kids’ boo-boos, read bedtime stories, and sang songs. She was the grandmother that had that perfectly soft, warm, cuddly lap that kids love to curl up in while being rocked to sleep while in her embrace, and her grandchildren and great-grandchild took full advantage of it.

Linda was, and still is, well loved.

Linda is survived by her husband, Thomas N. Tunks; three children, Christopher Tunks (Gloria), Timothy Tunks (Sarah) and Wendy Neely (Brandon); seven grandchildren, Faith Tunks, Jacob Tunks, Autumn Neely, Breanna Neely, Brandon Neely, Angelica Tunks, Kella Tunks; great-grandchild, Avery Smith; four siblings, Robert Chambless (Lori), Betty Wells (Gary), Gary Chambless (Fran) and Ireta Angley (John).

Family and friends are invited to a Visitation from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM on Tuesday, September 1, 2015 at the Turrentine-Jackson-Morrow Funeral Home in Frisco, Texas. A Funeral Service will be held at Turrentine-Jackson-Morrow Chapel in Frisco on Wednesday, September 2, 2015 at 10:00 AM. Interment will follow at Ridgeview West Memorial Park in Frisco.
