Linda Sue Brasee

Linda Sue (Bennett) Brasee was, above all else, the heart of her family. At 79 years old, Linda passed away peacefully on August 31, 2026, surrounded by love at her daughter’s home in Blanchard, Oklahoma. Born in Cyril on July 31, 1947, to William Arthur and Mildred Maxine (Moss) Bennett, Linda grew up with strong roots and a faithful heart, joining and being baptized at the First Christian Church in 1958. She attended Cyril Public Schools and graduated in 1965. In school, she participated in the chorus, played basketball, and lit up the field as Cyril High School’s Football Homecoming Queen. On May 1, 1967, Linda married John L. Igo. Together, they built a life south of Cement, raising a family and turning a dream into reality in 1984 when they built their hand-crafted log cabin home. Life took Linda down a few different roads—spending cherished years in Anadarko, living in Mountain View close to her youngest daughter and grandchildren, and eventually returning to her childhood home in Cyril to care for and live alongside her mother. Linda brought a welcoming smile and dedicated work ethic to everything she did. Over the years, she worked as a dental assistant for Dr. Dale Bailey, a cashier at Hood’s grocery, an employee at Hollytex, and eventually retired after years of hard work as a secretary for M&M Supply. To know Linda was to know a woman who lived completely for others. She was a devoted fixture in her community, serving on the Cement Public Schools board, tenderly caring for the peace garden by the post office, and always lending a helping hand where needed. Linda would get up before dawn if her daughters’ team had an early morning away game, making her famous homemade breakfast casserole with biscuits and making sure everyone was fed. Her love for sports was legendary. An unapologetic, die-hard Oklahoma City Thunder fan, Linda was her family's biggest cheerleader. She loved watching her children’s games or activities, never missing a single game or event. When Linda was able, she would attend every sport or activity her grandchildren were in. You could always find Linda cheering and beaming with pride from the stands. When she wasn't at a ballgame, she was outside with her hands in the dirt, creating vibrant, immaculate flower beds. Linda cherished time spent with family and friends, especially enjoying cookouts with a good hamburger, sitting outside on the swing, and listening to the birds. Strong, remarkably selfless, and unconditionally loving, Linda’s constant presence was a safe haven for her family. Linda’s legacy of love lives on through her four children: Christa Campbell of Cyril, OK; Russ Igo and his wife Teri of Anadarko, OK; Jill Akin and her husband Russell of Midland, TX; and Nikki Kraham and her husband Paul of Blanchard, OK; her 13 cherished grandchildren: Devon Richardson, Ryder Igo, Anakin McClure, Cameron McClure, Jewelee Igo, Morgan Igo, Allison Akin, Will Akin, Maddax Kraham, Cali Kraham, Owen Akin, Kara Hulbert, and Brent Shipman; and her precious eight great-grandchildren. She will be dearly missed by her sister, Mary Whitener of Chouteau, OK, as well as many nieces, nephews, cousins, and lifelong friends who became family along the way. She was joyfully reunited in passing with her parents, William and Mildred; her grandparents, Howard and Mary Etta Moss; her step-daughter, Vala Shipman; and great-grandchild, Brooklynn Richardson. Condolences and memorial tributes can be sent to Smith Funeral Home.
