Once upon a time in the serene and close-knit community of Tushka/Atoka, Oklahoma, lived a remarkable woman named Linda Marie Roy. Linda, born on January 11, 1963, in Texarkana, TX, to George Buford and Ruebye Madlayne (Sorsby) Roy, was a beacon of strength, resilience, and kindness. She grew up attending Pleasant View Baptist Church at Tushka and later became a devoted member of Atoka United Methodist Church.
Linda lived a life adorned with challenges, being disabled from birth. However, she bore her limitations with indomitable spirit and never let them shadow her radiant smile. Her life might not have been entwined in marital bliss or enriched with her own children, but Linda's existence was brimmed with love, learning, and the pursuit of simple joys.
After graduating from Tushka High School in 1981, she delved into the realms of childcare at Kiamichi Vo-Tech, embracing the sweet laughter and innocent mirth of children. She found solace in the simplest of pleasures—coloring, singing, watching her favorite TV shows, and movies. She loved fishing under the azure sky and relishing the beauty of the tranquil waters, and her happiest moments were spent amidst her loving family and cherished friends.
Her days were also marked by her dedicated service as a stocker for INCA in the clothing bank, an endeavor that mirrored her compassionate soul and desire to serve others. The threads of her life were interwoven with love and care for her sister, Georgette Snow, nephews, great-nephews, and great-nieces, alongside many dear friends and relatives.
Unfortunately, Linda departed from this world on September 22, 2023, leaving behind a legacy of love, resilience, and selfless service. Her absence has enveloped her family in a tapestry of grief, and they are reaching out for support to give Linda the farewell she so richly deserves.
Her family is now humbly seeking donations to help cover the costs of Linda's final journey and to honor her memory in a manner befitting her life of strength and generosity. A contribution, no matter how small, can light a candle in the darkest of times and extend a hand of comfort to Linda's family in their hour of need.
Donating to assist in Linda’s burial is not just a gesture of financial support; it is a heartfelt tribute to a soul that, despite her limitations, lived a life of purpose and touched many hearts. Linda was a living testament to the triumph of the human spirit over adversities, and helping her family in this trying time will keep her flame of resilience and kindness burning brightly in the hearts of those who knew and loved her.
In her silence, Linda still speaks, reminding us of the essence of humanity and compelling us to look beyond our limitations and perceive the beauty in every soul. Your support will not only alleviate the burden from her grieving family but will also ensure that Linda's spirit of love and strength continues to inspire and illuminate many more lives.
Her life’s symphony might have reached its final note, but the melody of her kindness, the rhythm of her resilience, and the harmony of her love will forever resonate in the hearts of all who were privileged to know her. Let’s come together to remember and honor Linda Marie Roy, a true beacon of strength and an embodiment of love and compassion.

It comes with great sadness to announce that Clarence T. Poole, age 95, of Norwalk, went beyond the pearl gate and into the presence of our Lord and Savior. He passed away on Friday, August 25, 2023, at Admiral’s Point in Huron. We need $1300 to provide him with a proper farewell and proceed with the funeral arrangements. This will help pay for the cost of a cremation, St. Paul Cemetery, an urn vault, a priest, and an obituary. Please kindly share this on social media or in an email, so we can try to reach our minimum goal. He will be laid to rest next to his loving wife, Mary. He was a God-fearing man, a beloved father of two boys, Roderick and Kim Poole, five grandchildren, and many great-grandchildren, a husband, and an Army veteran. He was drafted into the US Army in 1950, where he was a Sergeant First Class serving in Kojedo Island in Korea, guarding prisoners. He then served on the front line for six months in Seoul, Korea, before being discharged in 1956. Throughout the years, he worked at Shellar Globe (Mayflower), was a funeral assistant and greeter at the former Kubach-Smith Funeral Homes and Evans Funeral Home in Norwalk. You may remember him from greeting you with a smile at K-Mart or Rural King, or from helping you with your groceries at Millers (Gardeners) grocery store. He enjoyed spending time with his family and was an active member of St. Paul Catholic Church, the Norwalk Lions Club, and the Knights of Columbus Council 626. I am sure he's singing and dancing with his parents, sisters, brothers, and his loving wife! Until we see you again, take a deep breath, and enjoy the love and beauty of heaven.
