Kathleen Marie Link, 75, of Jonesburg, passed away peacefully at her home on Friday, May 22, 2026.

She was born on November 21, 1950, in St. Louis, to William Deuser and Lorraine (Tobin) Deuser.

Kathleen dedicated 16 years of her life working as a front desk clerk for Baymont Inn & Suites. She truly loved her work and took great pride in what she did. Her dedication, kindness, and strong work ethic left a lasting impression on all who knew her.

Outside of work, Kathleen found joy in many things. She loved riding her horses, tending to her garden, and spending time with her beloved dog, Tucker. Music also held a special place in her heart, especially "My Way" by Elvis Presley and "Crystal Blue Persuasion" by Tommy James. Kathleen was known for having the biggest heart and for being one of the most giving people anyone could meet. Many would say she would give the shirt off her back to help someone in need — and she truly did.

Kathleen loved her family deeply and cherished every moment spent with them. She was a devoted mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother whose love and guidance will be forever remembered.

She was also a proud and outspoken supporter of Donald Trump, and those who knew her knew not to speak poorly of him in her presence.

Kathleen will be remembered for her loving heart, strong spirit, generosity, and unwavering love for her family and friends. She will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her.

Kathleen is survived by her children: Fredrick M. Legler of Jonesburg, Missouri, Christy (Robert Prescott) Sanders of Warrenton, Missouri, Joe (me, myself, and I) Legler of Moscow Mills, Missouri; grandchildren: Crystal (Chandler) Amick, Cassandra Sanders, Lucian Sanders, Amy Legler, Gwen Legler, Angela Legler, Samantha Legler, Zoey Legler; great-grandchildren: Meldoy Adams, Carter Amick, Kota Amick; brother, Mike Deuser; her best friend, Debbie Endicott; special friend, Thomas Cocci; and her employer that became family, Vic (Jasmie) Patel.

She was preceded in death by her parents, William and Lorraine Deuser, and brother, Bill Deuser.

Kathleen will be cremated and no services will be held at this time.
