Linda Sue Chaknine, 69, of Hamilton, IL, passed away on Wednesday, May 21, 2025, at
the University of Iowa Hospital in Iowa City.
Linda was born on June 24, 1955, in Keokuk, IA. She was the daughter of Harry Earl
Fox and Thelma Rose Wooster. Linda graduated from Keokuk High School in 1973. In
September of 1973, she was united in marriage to George William Chaknine and had
one daughter, Angela Sue, in 1974. After George’s death in 2006, Linda reunited with a
former sweetheart, Henry Settles. They were engaged shortly after that and remained
together, residing in Hamilton, IL, until her death. Together they shared many years of
laughter and adventures.
Linda enjoyed cooking, reading, and loved music. She loved the band, Journey, and her
favorite song was “Don’t Stop Believing.” Linda also owned many muscle cars
throughout her life, including many Camaros, which were her favorite. Linda had a
strong love for her pets, especially her dog, Paxton. She also loved watching her
grandchildren, Caleb, Abigail, Samantha, and Ryder grow up. Linda was very proud of
them and their accomplishments. She will be missed beyond any measure, and we all
look forward to the day we are together again.
Linda is survived by her fiancé, Henry Settles of Hamilton, IL, her daughter, Angela
(Chris) Hogge of Devils Lake, ND, and her grandchildren, Caleb (Natalie) Hogge,
Abigail Hogge, Samantha Hogge, and Ryder Hogge.
