Linda was born October 3, 1937 in Neola, Iowa to the late James and Viola (Dobernecker) Grap. She had 7 brothers and 3 sisters. She moved to Omaha where she raised her family. She had 2 sons, 4 step sons, 4 step daughters and many grandchildren and great grandchildren. She had started her career as a hairdresser and later worked in the Omaha Kellogg's plant where she retired. She enjoyed spending time outdoors in the sunshine whether gardening or reading as well as doing puzzles and playing cards. But most of all, spending time with her loved ones, especially the grandkids. She was a no nonsense kind of person, would tell you like it is, but had a heart of gold and would do anything with or for you. She gave 100% in everything she did. She will definitely be missed
