Linda Lou Hagel

Linda Lou Hagel passed from this life on April 15, 2022 in Shawnee, Oklahoma surrounded by her family.  She was 77 years old.  Linda loved animals and her grandchildren more than anything in this world.  She was a doting grandmother, always having a sweet treat available and a stuffed animal or coloring book to take home from a visit.  She never forgot a birthday or special occasion.

Linda loved sweets, especially pecan pie and could always be convinced to make a trip to Braum’s for some ice cream.  She was a Christian woman, very kind, with a big heart and a bright smile.
