Linda Sue Nickol

Linda Sue Nickol, age 73, passed away surrounded by her family, on March 18, 2023.

Linda was born in Cincinnati, OH to Thomas Knippenberg and Pearl Maupin (nee Johnston). Linda graduated from Central High school in 1966 and attended State Technical and Community College, graduating in 1975.

Those who knew Linda knew her to be strong, wise, independent, and compassionate.

She enjoyed expressing her creativity through writing, singing, and crafting. Above all else, she most enjoyed spending time with those she loved. A woman who gave so much to everyone and expected nothing in return, her only wish was for her children to be happy. Her family was her world.

Linda will be greatly missed by her children, Kim (Butch) Knierim, Barb (Dwayne) Jacobs, Laura (Dan) Fannin, Ryan (Kristen) Nickol, Sadie (Jordan) Gracia; grandchildren, Tara (Brian) Koger, Steven Fannin, Brittany (Nathan) Meyer, Ashleigh (Eli) Brown, Danielle (Keith) Knierim, Taylor (KC) Jacobs, Tommi (Donavan) Welch, Trevor Jacobs, and Amber (Russell) Anthony; great-grandchildren, Ryleigh, Andrew, Cali Mae, Brayden, Hudson, Kolsen, Caiden, Owen, Peyton, Lilly, Lainey, Mason, Logan, Brinley, and Blaine; siblings, Carole (Joe) Griec and Debbie Saner, Thomas Knippenberg Jr., and nieces, nephews and friends.

She was preceded in death by her parents and her brother, Tommy Johnston.
