Larson, Linda Rose
Passed peacefully on May 31st, at the age of 76.
Born to Jack and Rita Larson (Nee Kulik) on May 14, 1948. Loving Mother of Dawn (Tom) Baker (Nee Richardson) and Sarah Richardson. Grandmother of Noah and Matthew Baker. Siblings Sister Kari Retzlaff (Jim) and Brother Randy Larson, and Brother Preceded in death Chris Larson. Aunt to Craig, Brian, Michael, Tony and preceded in death Tyler. Loved by many other family and friends.
A kind, creative soul, Linda enjoyed artwork, music and postcards from around the world. Linda enjoyed record collecting from the 50s and 60s with a special love for Elvis and The Beatles. Linda loved to dance, and would spend time dancing to her record collection with her children. Linda’s love for postcards was unmatched. She often asked her friends to send her postcards from vacations, it meant the world to her to receive a postcard from anywhere in the world. Linda was an avid artist who enjoyed creating watercolor paintings and coloring pictures to give to others.
Linda enjoyed playing games with her family and grandchildren. Her favorite games were Uno and Yahtzee. Normally soft spoken and well mannered, even she couldn’t resist the disgust caused by a Draw 4 card. Finally, Linda’s family and friends recall her eternal love for Pepsi cola. Even in Linda’s final moments, a Pepsi can was by her side, providing the last bit of comfort she needed from her favorite drink.
Although you will be with us in our hearts forever, we will miss you Linda. Continue dancing and drinking Pepsi, so we can create even more memories when we meet again.
Gathering at Krause Funeral Home, 12401 West National Avenue, New Berlin, Wisconsin on Friday, June 28, 2024 from 4:00 PM – 6:00 PM. Memorial Service at 6:00 PM.
