Linda Ellen Alumbaugh, 78, died Nov. 28, 2017 at St. Alphonsus Hospital in Boise, Idaho from respiratory failure.
She was born in Creston, Iowa on Nov. 1, 1939 to F. E. Cozad (Gene, D. 1971) and H. M. (Herold) Cozad (Hazel, D. 1982).
Linda had a classic 1940s-1950s early childhood experience in a small southwestern Iowa town of 8,500 people, surrounded by small farms and wonderful hardworking farm families.
All people loved her, even the nurses and doctors at St. Al’s during her final struggle. She always had a smile and kind words for everyone, loved reading library books and the morning paper, doing her daily crossword, putting puzzles together with her friends and family, and actively staying in contact with lifelong friends.
She is survived by Ronald D. Alumbaugh (spouse of 42 years); brother, Jerry Cozad; children, Deborah Lynn Stark, Cynthia Ellen Officer, and Michelle Rae Harmon; as well as ten grandchildren and 15 great grandchildren.
