Linda Joann Ferner

Linda was preceded in death by her parents Edward and Josephine Ferner; nephew, Richard VanHetHekke; and great-nephew, Anthony VanHetHekke. She will be remembered by her sisters-in-law, and many nieces, nephews, and friends.

Linda loved her family immensely and had special relationships with them all. She enjoyed visits to Shipshewana and Frankenmuth. She loved Sunday family dinners and sharing recipes that she thought looked good. Linda enjoyed playing Bingo and word searches but also loved to be alone while watching old television shows. Linda was a hardworking woman. She started working full-time at age 18 and worked the farm at the same time. Many memories of her were made in that barn.

Visitation with friends and relatives will take place from 6-8 p.m. on Tuesday, May 26, 2026 at Cook Funeral Home, 2067 84th Street SW, Byron Center, MI 49315. A funeral service will commence 10:30 a.m. Wednesday, May 27, 2026, with visitation one hour prior to service, at St. Sebastian Catholic Church, 9408 Wilson Ave. SW, Byron Center, MI 49315.

In honor of Linda and in lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to Shields of Hope. Interment will be at St. Sebastian Cemetery. The family welcomes memories and messages at www.cookcaresbyron.com in their guestbook online.
