Linda Jean Evans

Linda Jean Evans, 76, of Vidor, passed away on Wednesday, April 9th, 2025, at Silsbee Oaks Health Care.

Raised in Broaddus, Texas, Linda eventually made Vidor her home, where she spent many years as a devoted and active member of First Baptist Church. Her faith was the cornerstone of her life, and she poured her heart into serving both her church and her family. Whether she was helping with church functions, offering a listening ear, or simply lending a hand wherever it was needed, Linda lived to give—always putting others before herself.

She had a deep love for reading, but her greatest joy came from doing things for the people she loved. Her generous spirit, quiet strength, and unwavering devotion will be deeply missed by all who knew her.

Linda is survived by the father of her children, Danny Evans of Vidor, TX; her children, Jennifer Evans and Chris Evans, both of Vidor, TX, and Tiffini Croak of Sour Lake, TX; her siblings, Odis Bryan of Alto, TX, Sylvia Havard of Lufkin, TX, Marsha Witcher of Longview, TX, and Kathy Sutton of Tomball, TX; and her beloved grandchildren, Kadin Croak, Lakyn Croak, and Isabella Evans, as well as numerous nieces and nephews. 

She was preceded in death by her parents, William and Dovie Bryan, and siblings Burton Bryan, Billie Sanders, Bonnie McGee, and Patsy Able.

Linda’s life was a testament to kindness, faith, and selflessness. Her love lives on in the hearts of her family, her church, and everyone blessed to have known her.
