Linda Sue Aten (Wilcox) was born on April 16, 1942, in Waleeka, Okla., and moved to Ellinwood, where she graduated from high school. She then made her home in Garden City, where she raised her children before landing her home in California in 1986. Linda enjoyed playing rummy tile games, dancing, crafts, camping in Lake Tahoe, and laughing every chance she could, and her children made sure she did.
On Dec. 25, 2022, Linda perished comfortably in her home surrounded by her loved ones in Palm Desert, Calif. She was 80 years old.
Linda is survived by her three children; son Darin Wilcox and his wife Carol Wilcox, son Terry Wilcox and daughter Karen Wilcox, brother Duane Wilcox, brother Richard Wilcox, sister Cinda DeWerff, and stepdaughter Sharlene Magid, five grandchildren, and six great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her late husband Edward Aten, and brother Mike Wilcox.
At Linda's request, there will be no funeral or memorial service. Minnis Chapel, Ellinwood will be taking care of burial services. Instead, she asked that you remember the great times you may have spent with her and hold on to those memories dear to your heart! Enjoy every moment with your loved ones! Call often to hear each other’s voices and tell them every day you love them.
