Linda Gail Demanche

March 12, 1945 — October 19, 2025

Kansas City

Linda Gail Demanche, née Williams, left this terrible place on Sunday, October 19th, 2025. Born in Houston, TX in 1945, she was preceded in death by her loving parents Jack and Thelma Williams, her beloved aunt and uncle Sam and Mabel Sharkey-Sampson, and many more aunts and uncles. She is survived by her only child, Lori Lynn Demanche of Kansas City, MO and her favorite cousin Sandy Urelius and her husband Don of New Caney, TX, and had one spoiled grand-dog named Monkey Butt.

Linda loved professional wrestling, had great taste in music, chased storms, loved storytelling, saw ghosts, and loved Jesus. She was born and raised in the RLDS church but proudly converted to the Mormon faith in 2007. She was open minded and loving to anyone and everyone, and even forgave the fundamentalist RLDS doomsday sect in Buckner, MO that took advantage of her generosity and left she and her teenaged daughter penniless in the mid 1990's. Her daughter Lori hasn't forgotten and never will.

Everyone else is welcome to join her daughter and friends to celebrate this incredible woman and mother to all.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to ASPCA.
