On September 13, 1968, Linda Sue Fausett was born at Skaggs Community Hospital in Branson, Missouri to the proud parents of Jerry and Alma Fausett. She was the oldest of three children, big sister to the twins, Larry and Lori. 

She graduated from Branson High School in 1986 and received her associate’s degree from Draughn Business College in 1988.

Linda grew up attending Victor Baptist Church. There she served her beloved church family by singing in the choir and leading the VBS craft team which perfectly combined her love of crafting with her gift to share Jesus with children.

She married the love of her life, Rick Pangborn, on June 10, 1989. They had two children, Joshua and Jessica and raised their niece Amber.

For 33 years Linda worked at Cantwell, Smith and Trokey Law firm as a probate paralegal and office manager. She loved her job and the people she served. 

Her passions were antiquing with friends, scrapbooking their life story, camping, adventuring with her husband (sometimes out of her comfort zone), playing games, spending time with family and friends and being the best Nana ever.

Linda was so strong in spirit and kind to all even as she battled three cancers for two years. Her bubbly laughter, big smile and positive outlook carried her through life. The kindness and compassion that lived inside of her heart will live on in all who knew her. 

Linda Sue Pangborn, age 53, was ushered into the arms of Jesus while surrounded by her family on Friday July 1, 2022. Linda leaves behind her beloved husband, Rick, her son Joshua Pangborn of Springfield, Missouri, her daughter Jessica and husband CJ LeMasters and granddaughter Octavia of Branson, Missouri, her niece, Amber Pangborn and family, as well as her sister, Lori and husband Jason Krehbiel of Lamar, Missouri, her brother Larry and wife Stacy Fausett of Lamar, Missouri, ten nieces and nephews, six great nieces and nephews plus many loving friends and extended family. She was preceded in death by her parents, Jerry and Alma Fausett.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests a donation for Gideon Bibles in memory of Linda.
