Linda Gale (Buxton) Larkin
December 16, 1948 — July 15, 2020
Linda Gale (Buxton) Larkin, 71, of Olean Missouri & Saint Charles, Missouri passed away Wednesday morning, July 15, 2020.
She was born in Warrensburg, Missouri on December 16, 1948 to Evert Gene & Katherine Alene Buxton (nee Copeland).
Linda graduated from Truman High School in Independence, Missouri, and Linda attended Longview College, Lee's Summit, Missouri.
Linda and Harry Lee Johnson Senior had one son, Harry Lee Johnson Junior in 1969. Lee Junior passed away from pneumonia in 2016 (Eldon, Missouri) and more recently their Grandson Harry Lee III best known as "Lee Lee" of Raytown, Missouri was killed in a tragic auto accident in 2013. Lee Lee's Brother Theo lives in the Kansas City Missouri area as well as his cousin Kelly Johnson, and Evert (Amy) Johnson and other greatly loved friends and family in the area.
Linda later had a 12 year career as a Procurement Clerk with the Farmers Home Administration office at 1520 Market Street, St. Louis. Linda met Dan Larkin and they married in 1979, welcoming a son Rob Larkin in 1980. Rob now resides in Brooksville, Florida. Linda retired from the Federal Government in 1992 when they moved to Florida.
Linda returned to Eldon, Missouri in 1997 and began her job at the Director's Office of the Department of Corrections Office Staff, transferring later to JCCC, The Jefferson City Correctional Center Prison Office Staff in 1999. After 15 years of service she retired.
Linda's cousin and close friend Kathy gave her 2 dogs as a retirement gift. Linda dedicated her funds to "Barney & Freedom" and her many cats so they could have the best care.
Linda inherited a button collection from her Great Grandmother, and she collected more antique buttons. Linda loves Jesus Christ and collected religious pictures. She dedicated her collection to her church group that she loved. Linda preferred not to collect any new items among her pretties so this made the collection very unique especially her jewelry.
