Linda was a devout wife, loved going on adventures and loved her grandchildren even more. Linda was not only known as Grandma but also held the title of “Bob” by some of her grandchildren. Linda was quick to tell anyone who would listen a recent story about how proud she was of her children and especially her grandchildren. She loved listening to music and family gatherings. She was always willing to help where she could. She would drop what she was doing if she heard anyone talking about a bonfire and make sure to be there. We all remember the burnt hot dogs. She loved to play games and especially loved geocaching. She was very well known for her potato salad and making sure the cookie jar was always ready for little hands to reach in and grab a cookie. She loved a good punny joke and was ready to let you hear her latest. As a sister she was quick-witted, goofy, occasionally gullible and loved living her life. Her indelible zip lining incident will definitely still be talked about for years to come. She was quick with her comebacks and the laugh she had with the occasional snort. Linda enjoyed attending services at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses and held her fellow brothers and sisters there close to her heart.
Services are pending and will be at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses in Holton along with a celebration of life. Memorials are suggested to help with expenses, and may be made to Chapel Oaks Funeral Home, PO Box 1034, Holton, KS 66436.
