Linda Lois Traylor Tough But Fair Bondsman Passes Away


Linda Lois Traylor, born August 17, 1947 in Houston, TX, passed away on August 21, 2025 after a courageous battle with cancer. She was 78.

Linda was a beloved matriarch, a successful business owner for over 40 years, and a woman with a work ethic like no other. Tough but fair, she lived life with strength, humor, and generosity. Her quick wit and legendary joke-telling could light up any room.

She believed in working hard and playing hard. She found joy in fishing and glamping by the lakes in her RV, as well as trips to the casino with friends. Cooking was her love language, and her southern-style dishes were cherished by all who gathered at her table. She entered and won many cooking contests, but her greatest reward was sharing meals with family and friends.

Above all, Linda’s greatest pride and joy was her family. She survives and is deeply cherished by her children, David Yokem, Tammie Little and Michael Yokem. Her grandchildren Cody Yokem and wife Sarah, Brandon Little and wife Tiffany, Jordan Blair and husband Chris as well as Dalton Little and partner Kamryn. She is also survived by her seven great-grandchildren: Jace, Brilee, Hudson, Aaven, Cannen, Brooklyn, and Rhiannon.

Linda has also left behind her amazing employees of whom she also considered her family. She is remembered with love by several lifelong friends who stood by her through the years.

A viewing will take place on Monday, September 8th from 5-8 pm followed by a funeral service on Tuesday, September 9th at 2 pm.

Linda’s strength, laughter, and love will live on in the hearts of all who knew her.
