1936-2026

Herschel D. Lincoln, 89, passed away peacefully and went to meet his Lord and Savior March 9, 2026 at his home in Leavenworth, Kansas. Herschel was born on July 24, 1936, in Barnard, Missouri to John Clarence Lincoln and Eva Fern (Dougan) Lincoln.

Herschel grew up in the Barnard area and graduated from South Nodaway High school and is part of the kids that chose the Longhorn mascot. Throughout his life, Herschel was known for his hardworking spirit and friendly nature.

He spent many years selling cars, something he truly loved because it allowed him to meet and talk with people. Herschel never met a stranger and was happiest when visiting with friends and customers alike. In his free time, he enjoyed fishing, playing cards, and spending time with his family.

Herschel is survived by his loving wife of 28 years, Penny Lincoln; his daughters, Sharon Lincoln (Kelly Robb) and Lori (Harold) Spire; nine grandchildren; 26 great-grandchildren; and seven great-great-grandchildren.

He was preceded in death by his first wife, Phyllis Holbrook; his son, Lennis Lincoln; his grandson, Shawn David; his brother, Glen Lincoln; and his parents, John Clarence and Eva Fern Lincoln.

Herschel loved life, cherished his family, and will be remembered for his warm heart, quick conversation, and the many friendships he made throughout his life. His presence will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.
