Linda Combs

Linda Sue (Gray) Combs was born September 19th, 1947, to Neal E. Gray and Winnifred L. Gray. She went to be with Jesus on June 6th, 2024, after a courageous battle with cancer. She graduated from Shawnee High School in 1965. She grew up in Shawnee, but spent most of her life on the farm in Earlsboro.

She retired in January of 2002.

She married the love of her life, George P. Combs on March 25, 1965, at St. Benedict’s Catholic Church in Shawnee. They loved and supported each other for 59 years. Together they had 3 children: Philip, Michelle and Chris.

She was preceded in death by her parents Neal E. Gray; Winnifred L. Gray; George and Clara Combs; and brother, Gary E. Gray.
