Linda Grosskreutz, 73, of Rothschild, WI passed away peacefully on February 22, 2023 of natural causes in her home. Linda is survived by her two children, Ryan Koenig, Milwaukee, WI and Lauren Koenig (Ben Nantell), Chapel Hill, NC, and her siblings Burt (Melanie Parish) Grosskreutz, Wausau; Dan (Karen Rainville) Grosskreutz, Wausau; and Gloria (Don) Krahl, Glendale Hts, IL. She is preceded in death by parents Alice and Kenneth Grosskreutz, and siblings Barbara Morrill, Gary Grosskreutz and Bonnie Brown.

Linda was a loving, devoted, and proud mother, often telling family, neighbors, and friends about her children's most recent accomplishments. She was known for her authenticity, unique sense of humor, honesty, and willingness to speak her mind. She was never afraid to voice her opinions, even if they were unpopular. Her outspoken nature was a testament to her strength of character and her unwavering commitment to living life on her own terms.

Linda was born in Wausau and raised on her parent's farm in the Town of Wien. She graduated Edgar High School as an honor student before spending five years in Milwaukee. There she enjoyed time with her friends and attending concerts. She then returned to central Wisconsin where she raised her children and worked at Greenheck Fan Corporation. With the company for 39 years, Linda was one of the first and longest tenured women to work in the plant, paving the way for more women to have opportunities in manufacturing. Her work ethic and dedication to provide for her family were admired by many.

As a collector, Linda had a keen eye for finding unique and interesting items. Her collections were a reflection of her eclectic taste and style. She had a passion for exploring her family genealogy, staying informed with current events, and keeping her mind sharp with word puzzles. Linda adored animals of all kinds, especially her beloved guinea pigs, Prince and Picachu, along with the wildlife in her own backyard. Her thoughtfulness and generosity extended to both humans and animals alike.

A remembrance for Linda will be held at John J. Buettgen Funeral Home in Schofield on March 10, 2023 from 10:00 AM - 1:00 PM.  Online condolences may be expressed at HonorOne.com
