Linda Lee Klein passed away peacefully April 25, 2026 surrounded by her loving family at her home in Marquette, Kansas.

She was born on February 3, 1960 in Wichita, Kansas to Ralph Eugene Kern and Rebecca Darleen James Kern. Linda was a free spirit. She spent her 66 years loving deeply, living straight forward, and living authentically. Her unconventional wisdom and her warm spirit made her a friend to many people.

She is preceded in death by her parents, Ralph and Rebecca Kern; her siblings Kimberly Kern and Steven Kern; and Linda’s best friend Tina Duffy.

She is survived by her two kids Spencer and Lisa Klein; her two grandchildren Khison and Rachel Klein; and her siblings Korena Anderson, William Kern, and Jesse Kern.

A private gathering of family to celebrate Linda’s life and to share memories of her life will take place at a later date.

Arrangements are by Affordable Cremations Plus, Wichita, Kansas.
