Margie Ruth Stricklin

(August 3, 1941 - June 14, 2022)

Margie Ruth Stricklin, 80, of Chaffee, Missouri, passed away on June 14, 2022 at her daughter’s home in Chaffee, Missouri.

She was born on August 3, 1941, in Dudley, Missouri, to John and Alice Sanders. She and William “Lum” Leon Stricklin were married on June 28, 1971. He preceded her in death.

She was a homemaker and mother to six children. She also worked many years at Carr Textiles in Chaffee, Missouri, and Venture Products in Oran, Missouri.

She enjoyed reading, watching true crime shows and loved seeing or talking with her family and friends. She loved to dance, and her favorite song to dance to was Wooly Bully. Her sense of humor was phenomenal. She also had her own sayings, made-up words and songs. Some were sweet, and others were hilarious.

She cared for others above herself and made sure everyone’s needs came before hers. Anyone who had the privilege of knowing her knew she was one of a kind and loved her dearly. Margie will be deeply missed by so many.
