She was born on January 30, 1956 in Plymouth, to Myrtle M. (Will) and the late Herbert H. Henschel. Linda was a 1974 graduate of Elkhart Lake/Glenbeulah High School.

She then started working as a housekeeper at Rocky Knoll before retiring. After retiring, she enjoyed working part-time at the Kiel Public Schools.

Linda was a lifetime member of St. Paul's Christian Church and enjoyed her time maintaining the grounds at the cemetery. Linda loved all kinds of hunting: bow hunting, gun, deer, and turkey. She was an avid Packers fan. Most of all Linda enjoyed playing cards with family and friends, and spending time with her many nieces and nephews. She had a great sense of humor that will be missed by her family.
