Born December 12, 1949, in Kansas City, Missouri to Virgil and Edith (Turner) Brummel.
She was raised in Knoxville, graduating from Knoxville High School in 1968. While in
school she enjoyed participating in band and played the clarinet.
After high school she worked several jobs including Pella Corp, APAC
Telecommunications, and Kum & Go; she truly enjoyed her 18 years at Wacko’s and her
favorite job was operating the Brown Eyes Café at the local sale barn. She also enjoyed
traveling. She moved to Moravia, IA and Arizona where she found her love for sunshine
before settling back down in Knoxville. She was passionate about helping others and
feeding people. She loved helping fix breakfasts for the Kiwanis club. She was also an
avid member of the NA community for the last 37 years. She loved throwing NA parties
and cookouts. She enjoyed helping others learn how to have fun in a sober life.
Linda had a great sense of humor and a wonderful smile. Her laugh was contagious and
would brighten everyone’s day. She would help anyone, had a heart of gold and a deep
faith that showed through all of her generous actions.
Her family was her greatest love, and they will remember the wonderful meals and
treats, all the laughs shared, a house full of flowers and love, and maybe a few cats
here and there. Her grandchildren were the center of her world as she always looked
forward to visits and hearing all about their lives. In later years as her health declined,
she made sure to stay in touch by phone, sometimes having conversations that lasted
for hours.
Linda passed away surrounded by family on September 8, 2025. She will be greatly
missed by her children: Chris Uitermark, Curt Anderson, Rhonda (Chris) Sinn, Aaron
(Kim) Anderson, and Ashley (Josh) Swan; 17 grandchildren: Shealynn (Isaac) Adel,
