SAN ANGELO Linda Lyons "Linney" Peeples, 71, loving wife and mother, died of brain cancer Thursday, March 15, 2012, at her home in San Angelo, Texas. A native of San Angelo, she was born on Dec. 18, 1940, to Hunter and Chlotielde Brister Lyons. She attended San Angelo High School and graduated in 1958. She married Michael Peeples in June 1960, and after Michael graduated from college and a tour of duty in the military, they settled in Abilene, Texas, where they raised two children, Quinton and Rebekah. After the children were grown and exploring their dreams, Linney and Mike embarked on a grand adventure, opening an art gallery in Albuquerque, N.M. After several years of roaming the mesas and mountains, the couple returned to their roots in San Angelo. Linney is remembered for her loving laugh, kind heart and warm words to all who needed them. Active in the Disciples of Christ Church, as a deacon and elder, she displayed the dignity and courage of her convictions throughout her life.

She is survived by husband Michael; son Quinton and his wife, Trish; grandchildren Georgia and Mason of Los Angeles; daughter Rebekah of San Angelo; her sister, Virginia Jenkins, of Georgetown, Texas; and numerous nieces and nephews.
