Harolyn Link, age 80, went home to be with The Lord on December 21st, 2020.  She was born on December 26, 1939 in Westwego, Louisiana to Harry and Annie (Perret) Zebal.  Harolyn was a graduate of West Jefferson High School, Jefferson Parish, Louisiana. On October 21, 1961.  She married Bill Link, a Missourian……or “foreigner” as called by one of her Louisiana nieces, noting, “he doesn’t talk like us.”

Throughout her life Harolyn was active in both church work and volunteer service.  She volunteered with the PTA, the Candy Stripe Ladies, the Hospital, and literally countless church ministries and school projects.  As a beautiful and dedicated Christian lady, she exemplified service to the Lord as she cared for and worked with youth and adults alike.  As a warm and caring person she was loved by all who knew her.

She is survived by her beloved husband of 59 years, Bill, son, Todd Michael Link, of Springfield, Missouri,
Nieces, Val Ann Keller, Michele Keller Christian and husband Richard, Karen Keller, Lindsey Keller LaCoste and husband Chad, Shelley Matassa Reiser and husband Armin, Carleigh Keller, Kayla Keller, Krista Keller, Samantha Christian; nephews, Greg Keller and wife Coleen, Sean Matassa, Justin Braud and wife Ashley.

She was preceded in death by her parents and sister, Ann Marie Keller and brother in law, H J “Val“ Keller; niece, Sherry Keller and nephews, Stephen Keller and Chad Keller.

Harolyn would want us to know her work here is done.  She’s been promoted to a glorious place from which she would not want to return.  She now resides in the joyous presence of The Lord, in a beautiful new home where she is being enthusiastically welcomed by a large number of family and friends who went on before her.   Together, along with us, they celebrate her ultimate healing and heavenly promotion. In turn, she’ll be watching for those of us who remain.

We remember her smile, her warmth, her love for life, family and friends. She made a difference in the lives of many. We invite you to join with us as we celebrate her life together.

Her Celebration of Life service will be held on Tuesday, December 29, at 1:00 PM, at James River Church West Campus 3953 W Farm Road 168, Springfield, MO 65807.  Visitation will be from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm Tuesday, December 29 at James River Church West Campus.
