Linda L. Loomis

11/16/1967 – 10/14/2017

Gretna, NE, formerly of Cedar Rapids, IA, Colorado Springs, CO, and St. Louis Park, MN..

A selfless woman, Linda was usually found at her children’s activities, keeping her husband in line, in her garden, or crafting – always with her beloved dogs at her feet. Linda embraced each day, never letting her 4 year battle with breast cancer hinder her joy in celebrating the beauty of each moment. Whether swimming with dolphins, strolling the beaches of Jamaica, binging on ice cream, or spending time with family and friends, her smile warmed everyone around her.

Linda’s compassion and desire to help others led to a long career as an educational assistant supporting students with special needs in Cedar Rapids School District, Millard and Gretna community schools.

Linda joined her heavenly family in the comfort of her home, surrounded by family and friends, Oct. 14, 2017. She is survived by her husband of 26 years, Derald S. Loomis, III, daughter Amanda, and son Alexander, as well as her parents, Ken and Linda Banker, her loving brothers and sister, and devoted pets, Romeo and Athena. The lives of countless others will be forever blessed by knowing Linda.

A celebration of Life will be held at Roeder Mortuary, 11710 Standing Stone Dr., Gretna, Nebraska, Saturday, October 21, 2017, at 1:00 pm.  Joyful attire requested to be worn to service.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation in Linda’s honor.
