STANTON - Linda Faye Glaspie Fryar, 73 of Stanton, died June 28, 2023. Services were July 1 at First Baptist Church in Stanton, burial followed at Evergreen Cemetery in Stanton. Pallbearers were her grandsons and great nephews.
She was born on Feb. 26, 1950 in Big Spring, to Claud and Grace (McKee) Glaspie. She graduated from Stanton High School in 1968. She was a homemaker and a childcare provider. In April of 1992, she began work at Eiland and Associates in Stanton, and continued working there for almost 31 years, having recently retired. She was a member of the First Baptist Church in Stanton.
She was known for her quiet demeanor, attention to detail, cleaning abilities, paper goods stock, witty humor, and her chocolate cake.
She enjoyed playing the lottery and other various contests. She was thrilled when she won $10,000 playing the dollar game on a local radio contest in November of 2021. Those closest to her know how much time and organization she put into collecting those dollar bills.
