Tierra Butone Applegate

Tierra Butone Applegate, 48, of Preston, MO passed away on Sunday, November 1, 2026.

She was born on December 27, 1977 in Columbia, MO to Randy and Renaye Livingston. She was the oldest daughter of 4 children. She received her education from Skyline High School.

She married James Applegate on December 6, 1996, and this union brought them two wonderful children; Sequoia and Keegan Applegate.

She had several brief jobs throughout her life, but her longest and most fulfilling was being a devoted mother and homemaker. She absolutely loved all things Disney and went to Walt Disney World any chance she got. She loved crafting and creating things. You would often find her couponing and at thrift stores. She loved Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas and getting everyone together for those holidays. If you knew her you know she had absolutely no filter and would say whatever was on her mind. She was the best wife, mother, sister, aunt TT, and friend and will be missed by so many.

She is preceded in death by her father Randy; her grandparents (Johnny and Peach Mathis; Robert and Butone Livingston); her uncle (Kimber Mathis); and her niece (Samantha Dean).

She is survived by her husband James; her mother Renaye; her children Sequoia and Keegan; her grandson Walker; her brothers Jayson and Corbin (Felicia); her sister Indiana (James); several aunts and uncles; cousins; nieces and nephews; and great nieces and nephews.
