Linda was born on May 2, 1936. In 1956, she married her beloved husband, Arnold. During his service in the United States Army, the couple moved to Virginia, where their son Jeffrey was born. They later returned to Mosinee, where they planted their roots and built a life centered on family and community.
She is survived by her two sons, Jeffrey (Mindy) Kennedy and Douglas (Christine) Kennedy.

Linda is also survived by her siblings, Bettie (Jerry) Denny, Mary (Kathy) Stoiber, and Allen Stoiber.
She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Arnold, and her parents, Clarence and Isabel Stoiber.
Linda found joy in life's simple pleasures. She loved playing cards and occasionally visiting the casino. Family gatherings were especially dear to her, and she expressed her love through delicious home-cooked meals that brought everyone together. She worked for many years at the Mosinee Airport and was a lifelong member of St. Paul Catholic Church.
Linda cherished sharing stories of her life's adventures, especially vacations with her sisters and brother, creating memories that she lovingly passed down through her storytelling. Her family will forever remember her giving and loving heart and her willingness to help others.
