Linda, aka Linda Bird, was born June 2, 1961, in Milwaukee, the daughter of Paul and Betty (Robertson) Strothenke.

Sadly, James passed away in 2002. She was employed at Colby High School in the cafeteria for 16 years and she also raised and herded sheep. Linda was her son Andrew’s primary care provider and dedicated her life to his life.

She enjoyed reading and working on her computer. She loved cheering on her Green Bay Packers. Linda was an exceptional sweets and desserts maker loved by all who sampled her delicious treats. In her spare time, she enjoyed picking out fabric to give to her mom Betty to make beautiful quilts and other pieces.

Linda’s memory will be cherished by her son, Andrew Vogel; her mother, Betty Strothenke; nine cousins; and many other friends and co-workers.

She was preceded in death by her father, Paul Strothenke and her husband, James Vogel.
