Linda was born to Alfred and Dorthea King on Sept. 17, 1943, in Grand Island. She married the love of her life, Bill Alberts, on Sept. 3, 1960. Together they raised their four children, Sonia, Grace, Jennifer and Will, while farming south of Aurora.
Linda loved to read; her favorite childhood book was "The Secret Garden." A good book, a cup of coffee and her cat snuggled up on her lap was her happy place. She loved to play cards, listen to old country music and create latch hook art for her family.
Linda was passionately generous and found great joy in giving to her loved ones and numerous charities. Her cat, OJ, was beloved and her faithful shadow. Linda was a warrior and battled through many health issues and tragic loss of family. In her daughter's eyes, she was the strongest woman we knew.
Linda is survived by three daughters and two sons-in-law, Sonia and Matt Kiger, Grace Alberts, and Jennifer and Steve Crawford; a daughter-in-law, Reka Alberts; a sister, Inez Rohrich; a brother, Clayton King; and six grandchildren, Ethan and Sam Kiger, Jared, Zachary and Joshua Crawford, and Elizabeth Alberts.
Linda was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Bill; a son, Will; and an infant daughter, Teresa.
