Linda Lou Bennett
May 27, 2010
Linda Krull Bennett, 59, passed away at home in Johnston, Iowa on Thursday, May 27, 2010. She was born in Forest City, Iowa on November 21, 1950, the daughter of John “Jack” and Minnie Liverca Krull. She grew up in a farm family of eight children and graduated from Britt High School. Linda attended business school in Ft. Dodge and subsequently worked for several years at a chiropractic office in Perry before her marriage. She was most recently a long time employee of Farm Bureau where she worked in account billing.
The joy of Linda’s life was her two children, Brandon and Rachel, who she loved supporting in their activities and pursuits and seeing them grow and mature as they accomplished their many goals. She had a deep appreciation for the rural life, the outdoors, her family and her faith. She enjoyed cross stitching and her pets. She remained a positive person even as her health declined in recent years.
Linda is survived by her two children, Brandon and Rachel of Johnston, and her brothers and sisters: Larry Krull (Vi) of Anamosa, Carol Stone (Marvin) of Grinnell, Gene Krull (Mary) of St. Croix Falls, WI., Sharon Drake (Tom Lonsdale) of Ames, Donna Ennis of Ames, Dennis Krull (Dima) of Ankeny, and Janet Drake (Steve) of Ankeny.

I also was a classmate of Linda's and have many fond memories of good times together. I also come from a large family of siblings and know the comfort they can provide each other in a time of loss. My condolences to her children and the entire family. May God bless you with the peace of knowing she is in His care.

To all of the Krull Family,
Mother and I send our condolences to you all. We were just together on Sunday and so I shared the sad loss of Linda with her and we spent some time talking about her and the family and remembering. You all were good neighbors and always Mark's and my babysitters! You probably remember that Mark died in 1983 in a mountain climbing accidents, so I do know what it is to lose a sibling. You are all in our thoughts and prayers. I'm sure Linda was a great mother. I can remember us playing together and being childhood friends. That seems so long ago, but all those memories come back when you need them most.
My husband and I are retired now after our 30+ years of government service as teachers in Germany. Gene and I chose to come back to the Sioux City area where we met at Morningside 40 years ago. We live on a golf course in Dakota Dunes, S. Dakota.
Our love,
Deb Anderson Knudsen and Margaret Anderson

I am sorry to hear about Linda's passing. Linda's family has my deepest sympathy and treasure all the wonderful memories. As I was thinking back when your family lived on the farm a mile from our farm, riding the school bus and attending Prairie Center Church in the country.
God Bless

I am so sorry to hear about Linda's passing. We were good friends and I remember some great slumber parties at her house. It's a shame to lose someone so young and she was a terrific person. My condolences to her children and family. I live near Chicago so can't attend the funeral but my thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

Linda was a very positive and compassionate individual. She loved her children very much and shared her joy in raising them with those of us that worked with her. I am happy I had the opportunity to work with Linda and will remember her with fondness.

To Linda's family, my sincere condolences. Linda and I often played together and spend time at each other's houses overnight when we were in 5th - 7th or 8th grade. I enjoyed her and remember the last class reunion she attended. She had Brandon and Rachel with her at Eagle Lake, so I did get to meet them even though they were both very small. Please know others share your loss. Having family members to go through this very difficult time makes it somewhat easier.

My sincere sympathy to Linda's family. We played together often and spent times overnight at each other's homes. I don't remember too many siblings at home, so I think she was the youngest. The last time I saw Linda was at one of our class reunions at Eagle Lake. She brought Brandon and Rachel and was so proud of them. Good looking kids! I'm sure she enjoyed watching them grow and spread their wings. I'm sure having so many siblings will help all of you get through this very difficult time. You have my sincere sympathy.

I was a classmate of Linda's. I remember that she was an upbeat person with a great laugh. When we were in junior high, Linda had a slumber party in the barn. Every single girl in our class was invited to that party!
My condolences and thoughts are with Linda's family.

Linda was a sweet person, classmate and friend. I lost contact with her after graduation, but I have some good memories of our school days. My deepest sympathy to her family. May God's peace be with you.
