Linda Rae Rumbaugh (Kuehn) age 66 passed away peacefully on February 15th, surrounded by her loving husband and two sons. Linda was born and raised in Lincoln, daughter of Raymond and Violet Kuehn, with her sister Sharon, and two brothers, Garry and Bill.
Starting out as friends while attending Lincoln High, Linda met and fell in love with Gary Rumbaugh at a local Kings restaurant. After three years of blissful marriage she gave birth to her first son, Joshua, and just one year, three days later, gave birth to Ryan. She worked full-time while providing a loving, caring home for the three men in her life. Never too busy to help, she was always willing to put others before herself. Holidays were a special time – baking sheets and sheets of cookies and providing thoughtful gifts to others, which she did in abundance.
Linda was diagnosed with breast cancer and courageously fought and won her battle. She did so quietly, never seeking out sympathy or pity. Her momento was a “survivor” tattoo on the underside of her wrist.
Linda was a proud grandmother to six grandchildren and continued showing her love by showering them with gifts, treats (especially ice cream cakes), and most importantly, love.
When not spending time taking care of her family she spent time at craft fairs with friends, building her collection of chicken decorations, and eating special treats – ice cream and chocolate chip cookies being favorites.
Preceded in death by her parents and brothers Garry Kuehn, Bill Kuehn, and sister Sharon Kuehn.
Survived by her husband of 47 years, Gary Rumbaugh, sons Josh & Ryan Rumbaugh. Grandsons, Jaxon, Aiden, Bryson, Cohen and granddaughters Brynn and Lily.
