    Obituary:

    Carol Gertrude (Barks) Lincoln, Age 63, of Marble Hill, MO, passed away peacefully Saturday, April 16th 2022, at her home, surrounded by her family. She was born April 9th 1959, to John "Lowell" and Oma Laverne (Gattis Simmons) Barks in Kennett, MO. For the past 46 years Carol was a loving wife to her husband, Timothy Dwight "Tim" Lincoln, and together they had two daughters, Angela Marie and Jessica Gwen.

    Carol gave her life to Jesus Christ and was baptized in His Name at the age of 18. She faithfully attended Westside Church of Christ in Jackson, MO. She embraced God's Word and enjoyed studying Bible prophecy.

    Being named after her grandmother, Maggie Gertrude (Ramsey) Barks, was an honor for Carol. Throughout her life she worked at Thorngate in Cape, cleaned houses in the Jackson area, and managed her husband's business, Timber-Link Construction. However, her favorite job was being a Homemaker. She created a beautiful home for her family. She was a devoted mother to her daughters, and a dedicated wife, a true "helpmeet", to her husband Tim. Carol enjoyed her grandchildren and attended many of their sporting events.

    From pencil sketches to embroidery, to catchy phrases, scrapbooking, and handmade cards, Carol was always blessing others with her artistic abilities. She was an excellent cook and was known for her chicken and dumplings, baked beans, and cherry breeze pie. She hosted large gatherings and was an inspiration to many outside her immediate family including nephews, nieces, cousins, and friends. She will be truly missed.

    Preceding her in death were her parents, Lowell and Oma Barks, and siblings: Evalene Collins, Jimmy Simmons, Francis Nations, and Wilma Hovis.

    Survivors include her husband Tim, and daughters: Angela Lincoln of Marble Hill, MO and Jessica (Chad) Lutes of Silva, MO. Grandchildren: Neil (Torie) Johnson of Advance, MO, Landon (Savannah) of Jackson, MO, and Rafe, Reagan, Glory, and Tallie Johnson, all of Marble Hill. Great-Grandsons: Tyson Johnson of Advance, MO and Ari Johnson of Jackson, MO. Siblings: Gene (Diane) Barks of Brighton, IL, Earlene Lunsford of Jackson, MO, Glen (Sheila) Simmons of Marble Hill, MO, and Roy Simmons of Illinois. Sisters-in-law: Pam Arnold of Chaffee, MO and Andrea (Mike) Wendel of Jackson, MO.

    Visitation will be held on Thursday, April 21, 2022, at Liley Funeral Home in Marble Hill, from 4pm until 8pm, and on Friday from 9am until time of service at 10am. Funeral Service will be held on Friday, April 22, 2022 at Liley Funeral Home in Marble Hill, at 10am with Bro. Gus Wischmann. Interment will follow in Cook Cemetery near Scopus, MO.

    Arrangements were under the care of Liley Funeral Homes in Marble Hill.
