With profound sadness we announce the passing of Linda Mae Harman, our loving great-grandmother, grandmother, mother and friend on January 11, 2021.
Linda Mae Harman, age 76, of Pittsburg, Mo. Passed away 01/11/2021 at Northwood Hills rehab in Humansville after hip surgery. Linda was born in Roubidoux, Mo. To Ruth Jackson.
Linda served as DAV Auxiliary Commander at the Bolivar Memorial #66 for several years.
She was preceded in death by her husband of 45 years, James Harman, stepson Mike and grandson Jayson.
She leaves behind her son Robert Garrett of the home, Ron and Sharon Adams of Parkville, Mo. Stepchildren, Patricia of Clinton, Jodie Hawley, St Joseph, Steven, of St Joseph and Tom of Jacksonville, Fl.
Her pride and joy 18 grandchildren, 26 great grandchildren and 1 great great grandchild.
Services are planned for Friday, April 16, 2021, at 12:00 pm, at the Missouri Veterans Cemetery Springfield, MO.
Linda faced many challenges growing up, but still had the courage to be selfless in a world that only shows you how to be selfish. She was a lovely independent woman who rarely had any wants, she found contentment in what she had. She loved animals, specifically her dog Nick, although I am sure the stray cats in her neighborhood also felt her loving care as she left them a plethora of food and water and even a few toys strategically placed throughout her yard. She found beauty in nature, taking pride in her flowers and joy in the act of fishing. Her closest friends will recall her serious stoic expression she would adopt each time she ventured into the casino ready to battle it out with whatever slots came her way.
Linda will always be a beautiful example of how to live in both a real-world sense and in the more cryptic sense of how to provide service to one’s community. She spent countless hours at the local chapter of the Disabled American Veterans. Linda loved to love people. In many ways she shared her love through food. She rarely showed up to an event empty handed, you could always anticipate a loaf of banana bread or a pan of brownies in hand as she came through the door, but her refrigerator rolls were truly divine.
Linda may never have sugar-coated anything but beyond a hardened exterior was a courageous heart. Anyone that was lucky enough to hold Linda close to their hearts will never forget her tenacity, care, honesty, grace(when pertinent) and unconditional love.
