Loevia Fern Linton was born to James "Willie" Linton and Viola M. Ingram Linton in Non, OK, on July 10, 1933, and was called home by our Lord on November 10, 2014, after a long battle with Alzheimer's.
Fern was a graduate of Gerty High School, Class of 1952, where she was a member of the Gerty Blue Devils basketball team. After high school, she was employed by the Holdenville Hospital.
Fern and Robert G. "Bob" Jackson, Sr., were joined in holy matrimony on January 1, 1957, and had one child, Robert Jackson, Jr. Fern and Bob were residents of Seminole, OK, until 1966, where Fern was a homemaker and an active member of the garden club.
In 1966, the family established a home in Purcell, OK, and Fern was employed by the Purcell Municipal Hospital as a nurse assistant. She was also involved with the local election board. On December 13, 1972, her husband, Bob, suffered a fatal heart attack.
Fern remarried on October 15, 1977, to Leon Loyal Baker of Midwest City, OK, and both she and Leon were employed by the Mid-Del school system. Tragically, Leon succumbed to cancer on January 11, 1989. Losing two husbands was extremely difficult for Fern.
In 1990, she was hired as a nurse's assistant at the Oklahoma City VA Medical Center and served in this capacity until 1999. Fern began her healthcare career in 1953, and by far the most fulfilling period of employment was her time taking care of America's heroes.
Fern was preceded in death by her father, James W. Linton; mother, Viola M. Linton; brother, James R. Linton; and sister, Doris June Linton Vickers. She is survived by her son Robert "Bob" Jackson, niece Lisa George, and nephews James Scott George, Phil George, John George, and Gregg George.
