Linda Lee Wilson, 78, of Battle Creek, Michigan, passed away peacefully at home on Tuesday, April 29, 2025. She was born on October 8, 1946, in Mount Vernon, Illinois, the daughter of Malcolm C. Lockhart and Frances R. (Barnes) Lockhart.
Linda attended and graduated from Battle Creek Central High School, and started out in the workforce at Sears. Linda later worked for the former Battle Creek Township office, the Eaton Corporation, as a receptionist for Dr. Bartell and Dr. Ptacin in the OB/GYN practice, and Dr. Prebish Chiropractic office before she moved to Maryville, Tennessee. In Tennessee, she worked as a paraprofessional for Maryville Public Schools. Moving back to Michigan, Linda became a Realtor/Broker with Stetler, Vanderveer & Associates, followed by Northpoint Woods where she loved to help everyone.
Linda is survived by her husband, Dewey Wilson; children, Laura (Shawn) Ostrom, Brian (Tiffany Hazen) Wilson, Kenny Wilson, Leann (Tim) Channells; grandchildren, Hillary (Nick) Howell, Shane Wilson, Zach Wilson, Cameron Wilson, Darrion Thornburg, Payton Savage, Haley Wood, Lauren Wood, Brady Channells; great grandchildren, Caleb, Chloe, Camdyn Howell; brothers, Dan Lockhart, and Kevin (Susan) Lockhart.
She was preceded in death by her parents; son, Brian Heath; sister, Eileen McKenzie; and brother, Robert Lockhart.
Linda was an avid gardener and had a green thumb for all plants and flowers. She liked to shop and decorate her home, had a love for her pets, enjoyed her "Choir Practice" girls that would get together for dinner and drinks and was always ready for a game of cards. Linda loved her family, her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren, they meant the world to her and she cherished every moment spent with them all.
