Linda Obrock Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Geils Funeral Home - Wood Dale on Sep. 25, 2025.

Publish in a newspaper

Linda Obrock, 85, passed away peacefully on September 25, 2025, surrounded by her loving family. She was born April 25, 1940, and lived a full, joyful life marked by kindness, humor, and love of her family.

Linda was the loving mother of Vicki (Tim) Sniezek and David Obrock; cherished grandma of Jill (Tyler) Metzger, Jenifer (Brett) Halan, David (Sarah) Obrock, Nikki (G.) Giron, Joie Obrock, and Gianna Obrock; and adoring G.G. to Natilee and Tifinee Metzger, Russell and soon-to-arrive baby boy Halan, Ramiah, Norah, and Eileena Obrock, as well as Kristine and soon-to-arrive baby girl Giron. She was the dear sister of Sharon Sullivan, loving aunt to Tim (Liz), Mike Sullivan and Lori (Paul) Klandrud, and cousin to Linda Lee Kofink and Pam Vahl. She shared a lifelong friendship with her best friend, Sarah Stezel.

Linda found joy in simple pleasures-crocheting beautiful blankets for her friends and family, shopping, caring for her crazy cat, feeding her birds and ducks, and cheering on contestants during her favorite game shows. Her gentle spirit, quick wit, and generous heart touched everyone she met.

She will be deeply missed and forever remembered by her family and friends.
