Novella Avenell Stiles Jacques Lineberry

LINEBERRY, Novella Avenell Stiles Jacques Known by her family as mom and Grandma, and to everyone else as Novella or Mrs. L, began her earthly journey on July 18, 1939 in Lampe, Missouri as the second child of Ralph Garland Stiles and Goldie Pearl Jones Stiles, baby sister to Alfred and eventual older sister to twin sisters Leota and Leona. Along her journey she was married for 21 years to Del Jacques and together they raised two daughters, Deborah and Kathleen. In the middle of her journey she met and was married for 25 years to Edwin Lineberry. ECL continued his journey to the heavens on July 28, 2002 leaving her to continue her own journey here on earth. On November 2, 2013 she joined Ed with a smile on her face and peace in her heart. She was surrounded by the love of her family as she left our arms and flew into his. Novella's life on earth was successful in all ways and though her journey was peppered with "bumps in the road" and was not always an easy one she faced it with courage, humor, dignity and always an underlying love that she gave freely and accepted with grace. Now her family and friends are left to their Earthly journeys without her as she continues hers in the Heavens. She will be greatly missed by all who were fortunate enough to have been touched by her love, she will never be forgotten or without the love that flows freely from realm to realm, so take our love to the heavens with you and we will keep yours forever in our hearts safe in the knowledge that you have eased our Earthly journey by paving the way and leaving a path for us to follow in this life until we catch up to her in the next. Your loving family and friends. Private interment was at the family farm. A celebration of her life will be held at a later date.
