(From Simpson Funeral Home)With a spirit as bright as a summer's day and a heart as warm as a fresh-baked pie, Linda S. Cupp made a mark on her corner of the world that will not soon be forgotten. Born in Carthage, MO on June 20, 1945, to Melvin and Lola Bolyard, Linda's journey was one of love, laughter, and steadfast faith. She was a smart woman, reliable in all things, and thoughtful in her actions. Her spirited personality made her a joy to be around.
Linda’s life was a testament to her love for her family and her faith. Her marriage to Kenneth Cupp on July 5, 1963, was the beginning of a lifelong partnership filled with shared joys, triumphs, and precious moments.
A homemaker by choice, Linda poured her heart into creating a home that was a refuge of love and warmth. Her hobbies, which included watching and playing baseball as a kid, reading, baking, and walking, were not just pastimes but avenues through which she expressed her vibrant spirit. As an organized person, she found joy in the order of things and the harmony it brought to her home.
Linda was a woman of many talents, but perhaps her greatest gift was her ability to connect with people. Her love for conversation was infectious, as was her unwavering optimism. indeed, those fortunate enough to have known Linda will always remember how she made them feel - loved, valued, and cherished.
Linda is survived by her loving husband Kenneth Cupp, her daughter Julie Smith; grandchildren, Amanda (Kyle) Allen, Kristie Smith, Matthew Hoffman, Jessica (Gerratt) Irwin, Christopher Hill and 10 great grandchildren; sisters, Lee Murphy, Phyllis Boothe, Pat McDaniel, Barbara Stramel and Gail Shipman.
