Linda Weekes passed away at the age of 70 on March 10, 2026, at the Ray Kay Eckstein Hospice Center in Paducah, KY. She was born on April 5, 1955, in Lafayette, Indiana, to the late Delmer Elo and Pauline Elizabeth Baxter Burris.
Known for her loving heart and intelligent mind, Linda was a cherished member of the Blue Spring Baptist Church community. She lived her life with great faith in the Lord. Her career as a cosmetologist was marked by the careful attention that she devoted to every aspect of her life. Her creativity was expressed in the ceramics that she fashioned, along with her love of all animals, her flower gardens, the great outdoors, and fishing with her life partner, Charlie Bratcher, which made her life complete. Linda was a loving mom, grandmother, and sister to not only her biological family but to all who needed her, especially her neighbors.
Linda’s spirit of family and love is carried on through her beloved daughters, Lisa McIntyre of Eddyville, KY, and Pamela McIntyre of West Plains, Missouri, and her step-son, Dusty Weekes of Portland, OR. She delighted in the company of her siblings: brother, Ralph (Ann) Burris of Fowler, IN, Virginia “Gigi” (Brent) Golden of Seymour, IN, Carol (Steve) Metzinger of Attica, IN, Annette Loughry of Oxford, IN and Lynette Kidd of New Port, NC. She will be deeply missed by her grandchildren: Brandon Meyers, Searra Hansler, Michaela McIntyre, Brittini Meyers, Hayley Ford, Jay Rushing, and Hayden McIntyre, as well as her great-grandchildren, who were a continuous source of joy in her life.
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her first husband, Gerald “Jerry” Ray McIntyre; her second husband, John F. Weekes; and her brother, Robert Burris.
Visitation will be from 12:00 PM to 2:00 PM Sunday, March 15, 2026, at Morgan’s Funeral Home.
