Our beloved mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, Linda Lou Bean, passed away peacefully on October 24, 2025, at the age of 82, in Monahans, Texas.
Linda was born to Sam and Pearl Osteen, who welcomed her into a big, loving family. She was preceded in death by her parents, her brothers Sam Jr., James, and Jerry, and her sisters Margaret and Betty.
She leaves behind her two devoted daughters, Karen Martinez and husband Ramon, and Rachel Ann Blain and husband Glenn. She was the proud grandmother of Summer Gaddis, Ramon Lee Martinez and wife Adriana, Richard Blain, and Mathew Blain. Her heart overflowed with love for her great-grandchildren - Barrett Gaddis, Baker Martinez, and Baylor Martinez - who always brought a smile to her face.
Our mother was like no other. She was the sweetest, most loving woman, and she loved her family with her whole heart. She was a devoted housewife who spent her life making a warm and caring home for those she loved. She taught us what it means to be kind, patient, and strong.
Linda's love will forever be a part of us - in every laugh shared, every family meal, and every memory we hold dear. We were truly blessed to be loved by her.
Services will be held at Harkey Funeral Home on Thursday, October 30, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. Family and friends are invited to attend and celebrate Linda's beautiful life.
