Linda S. Huckriede

Linda Sue Huckriede, 75, passed away on December 21, 2024, in Joplin, MO, after battling many health issues. Born on March 25, 1949, Linda led a life marked by kindness, generosity, and a spirited sense of humor. Known for her loving and ornery nature, she dedicated much of her time to caring for others, a testament to her sweet and generous personality. On April 19, 1980, Linda married the love of her life, David Huckriede, in Greensburg, KS. The couple moved to Grove in 1991. Linda's professional life was diverse and fulfilling. She started her career as a supervisor at Eagle Picher and upon its closure, she and her husband, ventured into entrepreneurship by starting a trucking company. This new business allowed them to travel extensively until health issues prompted a change. Later, Linda found joy in working alongside her husband at Grand Lake Casino, where she engaged in housekeeping roles. Beyond her professional and educational pursuits, Linda was deeply involved in her community. She attended First Baptist Church and contributed her time to the American Legion, helping with bingo events every Friday. Linda's hobbies were as vibrant and varied as her career. She was an avid online shopper, often tuning into QVC for the latest deals. Her culinary skills were often put to use in cooking for her loved ones, and she took great pleasure in gift-giving. Floral arranging and wreath making were among her creative outlets. Most of all, she adored her grandchildren, actively participating in their lives and supporting their activities. While Linda's life was rich and full, her memory will be cherished and kept alive by the many lives she touched. Contributions in memory of Linda can be made to the Grove American Legion, an organization she fervently supported. Her presence will be deeply missed by all who knew her, as she left a lasting impact through her thoughtful actions and loving demeanor.
