She is survived by her husband, Chester; her two children, Michael Neumann and his wife, Teresa, and Nola Surmanek; her cherished grandson, Michael Neumann Jr. She is also survived by her two sisters, Sharon Bailey and Mary Jockheck, as well as three nephews and two nieces who brought her great joy.

In addition to her parents, Linda was preceded in death by her siblings, Beverley Hendrick and Scott Jockheck.
