Linore was a caring and devoted wife, mother, sister, grandmother, great-grandmother and loving friend. Each role she played impacted the lives of her family and friends. She loved her family unconditionally and her actions proved her affection and dedication. Always going above and beyond with her home life, Linore made sure her role as mother and wife took top priority, next to her role as a Christian lady. She loved Jesus and demonstrated that love every day. Linore was a dedicated employee as a bookkeeper for over 30 years and always maintained a strong work ethic. Her “green thumb” was a blessing as well as her love for gardening. Linore was a member of Poplar Bluff First Assembly of God Church, served in the women’s ministries and taught Sunday School for many years. She will be sadly missed but her loving memory will live forever in the hearts of her wonderful family and friends.
Linore is survived by three daughters Kathy Johnson and husband Kelly, Judy Stucker and husband David, Sandy Stromberg and husband Shawn; two sisters Phyllis Pipkin and Ellen (Jiggs) Siebert; one brother Joe Perkins; four grandchildren Taylor Stucker, Chelsea Green and husband Dustin, Katie Johnson and Karen Johnson; one great-grandson Jameson Green.
