Linda Faye Farrell Waggoner passed away on January 4, 2022 at the age of 73. Linda was born to Hulon and Billie Farrell on October 11, 1948 in Temple, Texas and grew up in Rogers, TX. Linda received a BS in Home Economics Education at Texas Tech University. She began her career as a Home Service Advisor at Pioneer Natural Gas Company. She then served as Special Assistant to the Commissioner at the Texas Department of Agriculture, then joined the Texas Agricultural Extension Service (now Agrilife Extension Service) as an agent with the Expanded Nutrition Program. She also worked as a Food Service Supervisor and Nutrition Education Coordinator with Austin Independent School District, then completed her career with the Extension Service. After an exemplary career, she retired in 2003. After retirement, she focused on her love of animals and opened Wagg’nPurr Pet Sitting Service.
