Earline is lovingly remembered by her son, Elroy Langston and his wife, Noella of Fitchburg, MA, and her daughter Theresa (Langston) Tomic and husband, Darko of Pelham, NH.
Earline cherished her family and was a proud grandmother (Grammy) to Corey Langston, his wife Sarah, their children Avery and Kennedy of Indianapolis, IN; Kyle Langston, his wife Holly, their children: Mason, Aubrey, and Sean of Indianapolis, IN; Sydney Langston of Fitchburg, MA; Isabella and Mario Tomic of Pelham, NH and Brandon Doiron of Ayer, MA.
She also leaves behind nieces: Aliene (Byrd) McKesson of Williamston, NC and Mozlisa Shaw of Seattle, WA and nephew, John “Junior” Byrd of Lincoln Park, MI. She held a special place in her heart for her dear friend, Cheryl Pierce of Windham, NH.
Born on July 7, 1941, and raised in the Fort Coffee section of Spiro, Oklahoma, Earline held fond memories of riding her brother’s horses and piling into the back of her stepfather Joe’s pickup for ice cream with friends. She was among the first Black students in Spiro High School’s newly integrated classes, a challenging experience that left a lasting impression.
After graduation, Earline traveled with her husband, George Langston, a soldier in the US Army to live at Ft. Devens, MA and eventually to Nuremburg, Germany. Once back in the US, she earned a master’s degree from Cambridge College which enhanced her career in engineering support at Digital Equipment Corp., where she coordinated logistics for nationwide conventions.
After relocating to the Baltimore area, she worked as a mentor at the National Guard’s “boot camp” program supporting young adults struggling with substance use disorders. After retiring she cherished spending time with her children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, nieces, and nephews.
With the untimely passing of her cherished husband Larry, she returned to Massachusetts and found renewed faith and fellowship at Andover Baptist Church, participating joyfully in church life and volunteering. She also found a new chapter of life and love with husband and Deacon John R. Morgan of North Andover, MA by whom she is also survived.
Earline is deeply missed and joyfully remembered by all who knew her. A faithful daughter of God, she now rests in eternal peace.
