Linda Carol Eargle, 55, of Olathe, died Tuesday, September 27, 2016, surrounded by her loving family. She was born September 24, 1961 in Harrison, AR. She graduated from Olathe High School with the Class of 1980. She graduated college at Emporia State University with a bachelors in communications.

On August 6, 1983, she married Robert O. Eargle at the Church of the Brethren in Olathe, Kansas.

Linda enjoyed being the digger for her volleyball team in high school and playing tennis with Robert and friends in college. She worked at Westview Elementary for 20 years where she taught numerous children reading skills. Linda supported her daughters by being a Girl Scout leader, teaching Sunday school, and cheering for K-State every weekend. Her favorite ways to enjoy life included motorcycle rides, cruising in the mustang, helping in the community garden and frequenting Antique Malls and the Swap Shop where she would buy angels, crosses, and signs. She loved visiting family in South Carolina and spending relaxing days at the beach. One thing that everyone who knew Linda would say about her, "She never met a stranger, she always made a friend for life."

She is survived by her husband of 33 years Robert Eargle, daughters Ashley (Kyle) Harris and Alyson Eargle, parents Brian and DIan Steele, sisters Beverly (Tim) Furlong, Katie (Danny) Goyer, Debbie Wilson and their families.
