Linda Lou Sloan

Linda Lou Sloan, 87, formerly of Pendleton, passed away on November 2, 2024, surrounded by her family. Linda was born on November 30, 1936, in Anderson, IN to the late Clem and Dorothy (Brandon) Jackson. After graduating from high school, Linda married the love of her life, Bob Sloan, and the two were married for 69 years. She had one of the toughest jobs, being a stay-at-home mom, and later working at Pendleton Elementary School as a teacher’s aide. She was also able to work for a craft store, Seasons of the Heart, and meet so many people, which she loved to do. Linda was a committed Christian, attending Mt. Gilead Church for many years and later, North Christian Church in Markleville. During her younger years, Linda grew up on a farm near Pendleton and always loved the countryside and rural life. She was a huge sports fan, her favorite being Indiana University basketball and very rarely missed a game. She enjoyed quilting, playing games, and doing puzzles. Most importantly, she loved her family, especially her grandchildren and great grandchildren.

Linda will be dearly missed by her husband, Bob; children, Mike (Jean) Sloan, Mark (Lorei) Sloan, and Kelly (Jim) Brown; nine grandchildren; and 20 great-grandchildren.

She was preceded in death by her parents and brother, Larry Jackson.
