Linda Sue Parks' Obituary
Linda Sue Parks, lovingly known as Sue, passed away on November 18, 2025, at the age of 70. Born on July 21, 1955, Sue was a devoted mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother whose love and kindness touched everyone around her.
She is survived by her son, Christopher Parks and wife Elissa; her cherished grandchildren, Cassie Parks and Brooke Parks; and her beloved great-grandchildren, Jaylynn, Landon, and Amari. She is also survived by her siblings: Lynn Pierce and wife Nancy, Brenda Bane and husband Bruce, Timothy Parks and wife Shelly, and a sister-in-law Barb Pierce. Sue also leaves behind 8 very special Nieces and Nephews and their children.
Sue was preceded in death by her parents, Ervin and Joan Parks of Bridgewater, Maine; and her brothers Ray Parks and Terry Pierce.
Sue found happiness in life’s simple pleasures. She loved tending to her flowers outdoors and spending time on arts and crafts, creating beauty with her hands and heart. Her creativity and care brought joy to those around her and will be remembered fondly.
Sue also leaves behind her beloved Fiance of 22+ Years, Mr. James (Jim) Tripp. Her and Jim had years of fun being snowbirds traveling between Maine and Florida. She and Jim moved permanently to Leesburg, Florida where they bought a home and have lived happily since 2016.
Sue made friends wherever she went, never one to meet a stranger. Her family and friends will forever cherish the warmth, strength, and love she shared throughout her life. She will be missed!
