Linda M Kavich

Linda M. Kavich, born August 13, 1951, in Libertyville, Illinois, passed away on November 10, 2026. She was the daughter of the late Wilbert and Florence (Bergh) Kruckenberg.

Linda lived a life rooted in faith, family, and service to others. She was passionate about her faith and taught Sunday school for many years and sang in the church choir as well as serving as an AAL lamp lighter for her congregation. Her caring spirit reached well beyond the church walls through her community service and volunteer work, including her time as an active 4H leader. 

She found joy in life’s simple and beautiful blessings. Linda enjoyed her flowers, especially her pansies, and brought that same gentle care to the people around her. Above all else, her greatest passion was her grandchildren, who were at the center of her heart and brought her deep pride and happiness.

On June 27, 1975, in Waukegan, Illinois, Linda was united in marriage to Stephen E. Kavich. Their marriage was a treasured part of her life, and he preceded her in death on September 16, 2022.

Linda leaves behind a loving family who will carry her memory forward with gratitude and love. She is survived by her daughters, Kristin (Kevin) Seay, Katie (Mike) Holmes and Jessica (Matt) Weber. She is also survived by her brother, Mark Kruckenberg and his wife, Teresa, and by her sister, Michelle Scannell. Her legacy continues in her beloved grandchildren, Stephen Seay, Rachel Seay, Claire Holmes, Caitlyn Holmes, Troy Holmes, Madison Weber, Lane Weber, and Savanna Weber, each of whom held a special place in her life.

She was preceded in death  by her brother, David Kruckenberg and his wife, Judy; by her sister, Shirley Erickson and her husband, Durwood; by her infant brother, William Kruckenberg.

Linda will be remembered for her faithful heart, her willingness to serve, her love of family, and the warmth she shared so freely with others. Her life touched many, and her memory will remain a lasting blessing to all who knew and loved her.
