Earlene married in 1968, and they shared 49 years together
A woman of deep and abiding faith, Earlene loved the Lord and lived her life guided by His teachings. Her faith was reflected in the kindness, strength, and compassion she shared with those around her. She was a wonderful mother who taught her children the meaning of unconditional love and served as the rock of her family, holding everyone together through life’s joys and challenges.
Earlene worked for many years as a meat wrapper at Consumer’s Markets before retiring and beginning a second career as a crossing guard at Bowerman Elementary School. She took pride in caring for the children she helped and was known for her warm smile and friendly presence.
She found beauty in life’s simple pleasures, and she brought that same beauty and warmth into the lives of everyone she knew.
Though her family grieves her loss, they take comfort in the countless memories she leaves behind and the enduring example of faith, love, and strength she provided throughout her life.
A graveside service will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Tuesday, June 23, 2026, at Greenlawn Memorial Gardens, Springfield, Missouri.
“Her children arise and call her blessed.” – Proverbs 31:28
