Linda Elaine Mhoon

Linda Elaine Mhoon, 81, of Tontitown, passed away on Friday, August 23, 2024 at home. She was born on October 12, 1942, in Elaine, Arkansas, to Jasper Diamond Helm and Emma Nell Wilson Helm.
She was preceded in death by her parents, her husband Willard John Mhoon, and her siblings Modena Cagle and Levon Helm.
She is survived by her son, Mark Mhoon of Salem, Oregon; her daughter, Monica Frame, and her husband Joe Frame of Tontitown, Arkansas; one brother, Wheeler Helm of Springdale; and five grandchildren: Ella, Andrew, Henry, Walker, and Isabella.
Linda moved to Northwest Arkansas and married the love of her life, Johnny Mhoon, on October 28, 1966. Together they built a life in Tontitown, where they raised their two children on their family farm. Linda worked for Tyson Foods as an administrator for over 37 years while simultaneously running the historic Venesian Inn with her husband until his passing in 2005. She continued to run the family restaurant until 2019 when she officially retired.
Everyone who met Linda loved her. With her contagious laugh, loving spirit, and competitive nature, people naturally gravitated to her. Whether you saw her behind the counter at the Venesian Inn or at a sporting event, she always brought a smile to people's faces, lighting up any room, ballfield, or court she entered. One of her favorite hobbies was attending her grandchildren's activities, where she was always their biggest cheerleader. Linda loved her family dearly and had a heart for those in need. She was a proud member of St. Joseph's Catholic Church in Tontitown.
A rosary will take place at St. Joseph's Catholic Church on Friday, August 30, 2024 at 6:30 p.m.. A Mass of Christian Burial will follow on Saturday, August 31, 2024 at 10:00 a.m., with interment at St. Joseph's Cemetery.
