Linda Lee Qualls' Obituary
Linda Lee Qualls, age 79, of Hindsville, Arkansas went to be with the Lord on July 18, 2025. She passed at home in the arms of her dear friend Larry. Born on September 12, 1945 in Salem, Oregon; Linda lived a life full of dedication, creativity, adventure and deep love for her family and community.
She was preceded in death by her parents, her husband, Virgil; her sisters, Terry Canaday and Nancy Walkup and her brothers, Denis Eyerly and David Eyerly.
Linda was the proud owner of a breeder hen farm for many years, earning numerous accolades including “Top Flock Producer of the Year” and “Top Breeders Grower of the Year” — an honor she received twice. Her excellence in poultry breeding was nationally recognized, earning her the title of Cobb’s Top Breeder in the United States and ranking #3 in the world.
Her talents extended far beyond her career. Linda won several blue ribbons for her sewing at the Benton County Fair and was known for her vibrant one-of-a-kind personality, including winning “Best Costume” at Talent on Parade for Studio 407. If you knew Linda, you’ve either gathered eggs with her or received something lovingly sewn by her hands.
Linda loved to travel and was always eager to see new places and experience life to the fullest. She was affectionately known as the “Grandma to the Stray Dogs basketball team” and was the #1 supporter of every event involving her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Her presence was a constant source of encouragement, joy, and pride.
Linda is survived by her children, Alan Qualls and his wife Patricia of Hindsville, Arkansas, Brian Qualls and his wife Cindy of Springdale and Charla Johnson and her husband Stacy of Huntsville, Arkansas; and her sister Doreen Hogue of Raynesford, Montana; five grandchildren, Keinnan Qualls (April), Cameron Qualls (Amanda), Cayde Qualls (Vidi), Checotah Clark (Brooke) and Rayton, Clark (Trinity Harrington); great grandchildren, Creid Qualls, Tray Qualls, Kambryia Qualls, Easton Qualls, Braylen Qualls, Lexi Qualls, Maverick Qualls, Michah Qualls, Liam Qualls, Amelia Clark, Adley Clark, Kolbee Johnson and Kate Holm; and Linda’s dear friend and helper , Larry Napier. Her legacy lives on through her family, her community, and the countless lives she touched with her warmth and generosity.
