Darvin A. Waggoner, 92, of Parsons, died at 7:20 p.m., Wednesday, November 17, 2010, at Labette Health. His death was unexpected.
He was born February 25, 1918, in Garfield County, Oklahoma, to Alva Garland "A.G." and Tracy Elizabeth (Frazier) Waggoner. He grew up and attended school in Oklahoma and was a graduate of Waukomis High School.
He and Charlotte Maxine Snodgrass were married September 2, 1941, in Blackwell, Oklahoma. Following marriage, the couple lived in Oklahoma and, for a time, in rural Thayer, Kansas. In 1950, they returned to the rural Newkirk, Oklahoma, area before moving to rural Altamont in 1955. In 1963, they moved to a farm northwest of Parsons where they had lived until moving to Parsons Presbyterian Manor in 2007.
He was a farmer and stockman and through the years had also worked for Midwest Minerals and Grandview Products. He loved his chosen profession of farming and enjoyed woodworking, gardening and tending his fruit trees. He especially enjoyed spending time with his family and friends.
