Linda Susan Beshears

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Linda Susan Beshears, age 70, of Kirkwood, MO on March 16, 2025. The beloved daughter of the late Ruth (Kappelman) and Glenn Beshears of St. Louis, MO.

Linda, known to many as Sue, Susie or Susan pursued many interests; however, her love and natural talent for music gave her the most joy and fulfillment. Sue received a Bachelor Degree of Music from Webster University in 1977. She played the drums, piano and trumpet providing her ample opportunities to play with several local bands and musicians. Sue gravitated to the sound of jazz and demonstrated exemplary talent making many friends and admirers throughout her career. Later in life she became a member of the OASIS jazz band and performed in the community.

In addition to her music career, Sue excelled as an Equestrian with the support and direction from her mother. She competed against sighted participants and won ribbons for riding, jumping and dressage.

Sue’s sense of humor, kindness and loyalty made her a wonderful friend to many and she will be deeply missed.

A Memorial Service will be held on Friday, April 25 th at 10:00 at Saint Peter Catholic Church, 243 W. Argonne Dr., Kirkwood, MO 63122. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to The Mary Culver Home for Visually Impaired Women or a cat charity of your choice.

    I have known Sue since grade school, and we have kept in touch until she passed away. I will miss our phone calls, laughs, and her great friendship. Sue was a friend to many including me. Carol Andris
