Linda F. Lieb

Linda F. Lieb, 75, of Orchard, Nebraska, passed away at her home on Tuesday, Nov. 26, 2019.

The youngest of nine children born to James M. and Luella F. (Boyer) Lieb, Linda was born December 28, 1943 on a small farm near Middle Branch, Holt County, Nebraska.

She graduated from Clay Center High School in Clay Center, Nebraska in May of 1962. In December of 1963, she married and spent her next 32 years as a caring and devoted wife. In addition to being a most loving mother who kept a beautiful home, she worked over the years on behalf of local government within three different Nebraska counties (Clay, Scottsbluff, and Lancaster) serving as not only an exemplary employee but as a valued co-worker.

Upon her retirement, she left Lincoln, Nebraska and moved to Orchard, Nebraska where she dedicated herself to living a quiet and modest life, developing many special friendships along the way.

She loved spending time with her siblings, attending local flea markets and garage sales, tending to her yard and garden, following Husker football, and spoiling her kitties (Rebbie, Earl, and Bella). In addition to sharing a close and loving relationship with her daughter, she was a proud grandmother who formed a special bond with her two grandchildren, whom she truly adored.

As a member of Orchard’s Cornerstone Bible Church, she worked cleaning the building and happily assisted with church activities when needed. Compassionate yet unassuming to all she met, Linda was valued by many within the Orchard community.

Linda is survived by her daughter Melinda (Hughes) Nolan of Lincoln, NE; grandson Cade Nolan of Lincoln, NE; granddaughter Mya Nolan of Lincoln, NE; sisters Mable Knight of Toledo, OR and Barbara Bolte of Orchard, NE; and brother Chris Lieb of Sutton, NE.

She was preceded in death by her parents, brothers Robert Lieb, Leland Lieb, and Jack Lieb; and sisters Dorothy Frederick and Donetta Walton.

A service was held for her on Monday, December 2, 2019 at Cornerstone Bible Church in Orchard, Nebraska where Pastor Troy Watson officiated. Burial took place next to her beloved mother and father at the Clay Center Cemetery in Clay Center, Nebraska.
